[Qemu-devel] Booting Solaris 9 install CD under qemu-system-sparc

[Paul Sheer]

Hi. i need to perform software builds on solaris-sparc and i'm trying
to avoid buying a real sparc for this. So qemu would be really helpful.

Be happy to buy something cool for whoever get's this working!

When booting the solaris 9 install CD -

qemu-0.8.2# uname -a
Linux sheerp-laptop 2.6.18 #2 PREEMPT Sat Nov 11 15:35:16 SAST 2006 i686
GNU/Linux
qemu-0.8.2# qemu-system-sparc -hda qemu-Solaris-sparc.img -m 128 -boot d
-cdrom /opt/sol-9-905hw-install-ga-sparc.iso  -nographic


- i get the following:


Nvram id QEMU_BIOS, version 1
CPUs: 1
nvram error detected, zapping pram
Welcome to OpenBIOS v1.0RC1 built on Jun 8 2006 15:14
