Excellent! If you drop the -bios ss5.bin from the command line and use the in-built OpenBIOS ROM then you can use -boot d on the command line - that really is the easiest option IMO. Otherwise you need to manually type "boot disk2:d" into the BIOS on every boot as per http://tyom.blogspot.co.uk/2009/12/solaris-under-qemu-how-to.html. ATB, Mark.
