Solaris 10 on qemu sparc64

[Daryl B]

Hello all,

 

I am trying to get the default Solaris 10 sun4u image running using qemu sparc64.

I am able to get the CD image to boot up using the bare minimums with qemu v4.2-7 on Debian sid.

#qemu-system-sparc64 -m 4096 -cdrom sol-10.iso  -boot d -nographic

The image boots, with some complaints in the output below

Finally the image reaches the language selection prompt to move forward with installation.

However, at this point. I have no ability to use the keyboard, no key presses respond.

 

From my basic research this seems that the included Solaris driver is rejecting the i8042 PS/2 device qemu is presenting?Or am I dealing with some other issue?

Any assistance is appreciated.

 v/r,

Daryl
