I've just done a test install with
https://people.debian.org/~glaubitz/debian-cd/2017-03-24/debian-9.0-sparc64-NETINST-1.iso
and I didn't see any errors similar to the ones you mention (although I
did have to blacklist the bochs_drm module upon boot).

The resulting qcow2 image can be found temporarily at
https://www.ilande.co.uk/tmp/qemu/sparc64-kernel/deb90.qcow2.xz and you
can launch it with:

./qemu-system-sparc64 -hda deb90.qcow2 -m 256 -nographic

Username and password are both root.
