It seems you are using the sparc-test initrd setup, which is not a
full system as you have noticed. Instead you should create a disk
image with qemu-img and find a bootable install CD image, then install
Linux with these like:
qemu-system-sparc -boot d -hda hd.img -cdrom debian-31r1-sparc-binary-1.iso

Or if you only need to run a few Linux binaries, then you could try
the user emulator instead:
qemu-sparc -L ../qemu-tests/usr/local/gnemul/qemu-sparc ./ls
