Speaking of APB emulation, QEMU apparently cares about adding two
APBs to the Sabre but there's nothing beneath them, i. e. all PCI
devices hang off directly from the host-PCI-bridge. This cannot
be in reality, hardware-wise. The QEMU topology shouldn't pose a
problem for FreeBSD but I think some x11 part at least one point
in time had the assumption the if there are APBs (aka Simbas), all
PCI devices sit underneath them. Anyway, I'm mainly puzzled as to
why that topology was chosen in QEMU. If there's a problem with
emulating an entire PCI hierarchy, i. e. devices behind PCI-PCI-
bridges, why not emulate a Hummingbird and get rid of the APBs
altogether in the frist place?

The next lines should be probe messages of the devices on the
ATA controller, i. e. something like:
cd0 at ata3 bus 0 scbus1 target 1 lun 0
cd0: <TEAC CD-224E 1.7A> Removable CD-ROM SCSI device
cd0: 33.300MB/s transfers (UDMA2, ATAPI 12bytes, PIO 65534bytes)
cd0: Attempt to query device size failed: NOT READY, Medium not present
ada0 at ata3 bus 0 scbus1 target 0 lun 0
ada0: <ST340016A 3.10> ATA-5 device
ada0: Serial Number 3HS2QXLQ
ada0: 66.700MB/s transfers (UDMA4, PIO 8192bytes)
ada0: 38166MB (78165360 512 byte sectors: 16H 63S/T 16383C)
ada0: Previously was known as ad0

And then finally some "Trying to mount root from <...>" line.

Which suggest that the next thing to investigate is the CMD646
emulation. Is there a particular reason why QEMU emulates a
CMD646U rather than a plain CMD646 as found in the real sun4u
machines of the USIIe/i era?

Alexey, does building the port with CDROM_DMA disabled make
a difference?

I've also a gut feeling that interrupts are not working,
otherwise there should be some timeout message if detection
of ATA devices fails and finally a panic due to there being
no source for mounting root (assuming the kernel doesn't
hang before the enumeration of storage devices).
Alexey, could you please try to drop into the debugger
(apparently, ctrl-a b should bring you there with QEMU if
you have compiled DDB into the kernel) and issue a `show
intrcnt` (besides a backtrace)?

Btw., is there a way to netboot with qemu-system-sparc64?
It would help enormously not to build ISO images for
testing but apparently at least `boot net:dhcp` isn't
implemented in QEMU/OpenBIOS.

Unlikely; "Initialized" means just that, the SA stuff has
been set up. Also, given that IP isn't used at that point
IPsec simply isn't either. Unblocking the random device
in turn comes later, i. e. at least after storage devices
have been probed.
