I suggest using QEMU git master. You could try the binaries
from my website: http://www.weilnetz.de/qemu/
Stefan,
Thank you very much!
So far, I have tried to use versions of QEMU from Qemu Manager 0.7
as well as QEMU 0.13 from
http://homepage3.nifty.com/takeda-toshiya/
but without any luck. I suppose it's because these versions do not
have most recent OpenBIOS usable with SPARC.
If you need Solaris, OpenBIOS is currently not your choice.
I understand.
Have to use an OBP blob.
Where can I find instructions on how to use it?
Actually, I don't need Solaris but SPARC.
So, even Linux for SPARC would do for me.
I tried Debian 4.0 (etch) and Debian 5.0 (lenny) but with no luck.
I think I confused the 32 vs 64 bit and SPARC flavors.
32 bit Debian 4.0 should work out of the box, also with OpenBIOS.
OK, then I will stick to the Linux distribution for 32-bit SPARC
and see if it works for me.
If anyone is curious, I did a quick test on my over-engineered
configuration with Windows Vista running VirtualBox with Ubuntu 64-bit
as guest system running QEMU which is supposed to run Debian Etch 32-bit
SPARC.
I run:
$ qemu-img create -f qcow hda.img 20G
$ qemu-system-sparc -m 256 -hda hda.img -cdrom
/home/mloskot/software/debian/debian-40r8-sparc-netinst.iso -boot d
-localtime
and QEMU window appears but it remains black all the time.
The VirtualBox CPU is running 100%.
I can issue CTRL+ALT+{1|2|3} to switch QEMU consoles, but nothing
related to Debian booting appears.
Here is screenshot:

I'm wondering if this is related to the VirtualBox+Linux host proxy.
Best regards,
