It very well may be related. Unfortunately I’m not able to test without a prebuild ISO to try to boot. I am not able to even install NetBSD/sparc64 using the default machine configuration due to timeout errors with the cmdide driver, which was the impetus to play around with the virtio drivers.  And unfortunately I don’t have the requisite knowledge to setup a cross-compiler on another NetBSD host and create the install media. ☹ Sorry!

I apologize for bumping an old problem report, but if it is not too much of an
inconvenience, could you try applying the patch in problem report #58680 to the
current branch of NetBSD and seeing if it solves your issue?:

http://gnats.netbsd.org/cgi-bin/query-pr-single.pl?number=58680

It seemed that the issues were related, and I hoped the solution may be
applicable.
