Strange, bug still exist on

./qemu/build/qemu-system-sparc --version
QEMU emulator version 10.1.92 (v10.2.0-rc2-31-g2257f52a97-dirty)
Copyright (c) 2003-2025 Fabrice Bellard and the QEMU Project developers

compiled for i586 on Slackware 15.0

Next try: put VM to real netBSD amd64 partition, try qemu from there
