I have just tried it and it doesn't work for me. My command-line is:

thinkpad:/mnt/karel/solaris9$ /opt/qemu-x86/bin/qemu -pci -m 256 -boot d -cdrom 
sol-9-u6-install-x86.iso

and I always end in Solaris' boot debugger:

SunOS Secondary Boot version 3.00

prom_panic: Could not mount filesystem.
Entering boot debugger:
[1363d9]: <cursor is here>


Have I done any mistake?

Thanks,

Karel
