Hi,
I have successfully installed a Solaris 9/32bit Sparc VM using qemu-system-sparc.
Now I am trying to install a Solaris 9/64bit Sparc VM using qemu-system-sparc64.
I tried with QEMU emulator version 4.2.0 and 5.2.0 (https://www.qemu.org/download/#source), but unfortunately, I failed in starting installation of Solaris 9/64 Sparc with QEMU.
When I tried to boot the Solaris 9/64bit Sparc iso with this command:
#qemu-system-sparc64 -m 512 -hda sparc9.img -cdrom sol-9-905hw-ga-sparc-dvd.iso -prom-env 'auto-boot?=false'
I press enter, but nothing happened.
Can anyone confirm if Solaris 9/64bit Sparc is working with qemu-system-sparc64? Or maybe I used the wrong Solaris 9 iso?
As we discussed 3 Weeks ago [1], the sun4u target can not boot Solaris yet. The niagara target (64 bit) can boot the Solaris 10 image from the OpenSPARC project.
Solaris 9 can currently only be booted on sun4m (32 bit targets).
