Sparc32 system emulator tests
Tested installing with a CD image. Direct kernel means using -kernel
option.
Serial (opposite of graphical) uses -nographic option.
Colour map is slightly buggy on most installs. Bug in OpenBIOS within Forth
function 'interpose' prevents BSDs from working.

Sparc64 system emulator tests
Kernel not reached, crashes in OpenBIOS while executing Forth (hard to
debug).
Sparc64 user emulator tests
A helloworld program made with hand crafted assembler executed correctly.
More complex programs die in ld-linux.so before reaching main.
