If you apply the same principles from my example above to your command
line then you should end up with something like:
${QEMU} -M ${mach} -cpu "${cpu}" -m 512 \
-drive file=${rootfs},if=none,id=hd \
-device virtio-blk-pci,disable-modern=on,drive=hd \
-net nic,model=virtio \
-kernel arch/sparc/boot/image -no-reboot \
-append "root=/dev/vda init=/sbin/init.sh console=ttyS0" \
-nographic
