It should work on i386 too. It just seems that some bugs on i386 can't
be reproduced on amd64 32-bit chroot.

Well, if the firmware configuration device is committed, I'll update
OpenBIOS to the new system and then probably update the image.

I wouldn't trust the Qemu version of VGA on Sparc64 yet, there could
be some wrong assumptions. Once a real kernel can boot, initialize the
VGA and preferably start X, then we should know that it's realistic.
