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
