First of all, if you could post firmware configuration (prtconf -pv)
that would help to detect the problem.

I can certainly build such kernel, I don't remember from the top of
my head how to compile miniroot(I don't use it), but if you look
at release target in the upmost Makefile, you'll find it. To cross-compile
anything you need to use make wrapper instead of make:
$TOOLSDIR/bin/nbmake-sparc64

And do you have scsi disks?
