Title:
  Qemu 2.6 Solaris 9 Sparc Segmentation Fault

Status in QEMU:
  New

Bug description:
  Hi,
  I tried the following command to boot Solaris 9 sparc:
  qemu-system-sparc -nographic -boot d -hda ./Spark9.disk -m 256 -cdrom 
sol-9-905hw-ga-sparc-dvd.iso -serial telnet:0.0.0.0:3000,server 

  It seems there are a few Segmentation Faults, one from the starting of
  the boot. Another at the beginning of the commandline installation.
