I can't even see the hardware messages at power-on; just garbage - on both
systems, at every baud rate I've tried on the emulator. Nowhere near
booting OS.

The SunOS 4 (and earlier) terminal driver sets the high bit. If you can
see the OBP and some of the early kernel messages, then it switches to
junk, this is your problem. The simplest thing to do is set your terminal
emulator for "strip high bit".
