Sun4m support in QEMU (qemu-system-sparc) is fairly mature now. The only outstanding issues I know of at the moment are lack of TCX acceleration (Olivier submitted a patch a while back for this) and a bug in ESP emulation which tends to emit warnings on the BSDs (and also prevents NeXTStep from booting). Newer versions of 32-bit Solaris will boot fine with OpenBIOS, older versions still need OBP - for more information take a look at Artyom's blog at http://tyom.blogspot.co.uk/2009/12/solaris-under-qemu-how-to.html which is reasonably up to date.
As my QEMU work is unsponsored, I'm afraid the pace of development is restricted to what I can do in my spare time. If you're not subscribed to the list full time, I can let you know when I make any further progress if that helps?im subscribed but you can email me any progress you've made - thx
Okay, will do. ATB, Mark.
