Hi Mark, Thanks for the update. I would definitely be nice to have other than the black screen. Still got a problem though. I managed to install sparc9 but after i removed the cdrom, it fails to boot.
qemu-system-sparc -nographic -monitor null -serial mon:telnet:0.0.0.0:3000,server -hda ./Sparc9.disk -m 256 -net nic,macaddr=52:54:0:12:34:56 -net tap,ifname=tap0,script=no,downscript=no >From an article written by Artyom, i did add # cat >> /a/etc/system set scsi_options=0x58 ^d to solaris 2.6. However, i think i didnt do this with solaris 8, it works fine. For the solaris 9, it will allow you to either set it to not reboot but once you reached the end of the installation, it will reboot when you press enter. And the Sparc9.disk cannot be booted :( telnet 0.0.0.0 3000 Trying 0.0.0.0... Connected to 0.0.0.0. Escape character is '^]'.
