I think it's sysv unix. How can I detedct its' arch via qemu?

I would start off by running strings on the iso image, to see if
there's any helpful human-readable text in it that would more
usefully narrow down:
 * what the disk actually has on it
 * what OS it is
 * what CPU architecture it's for

Then you can probably make an educated guess at the image
format.

I think it has Srv Unix about 1985, But i don't know about its arch.
