[Qemu-devel] Some test with the SPARC system emulator

[Francisco Jesus Monserrat Coll]

 Hello, 

I'd done some testing of the SPARC system emulator, 
 qemu-system-sparc with several operating systems, using 
the last CVS version,  with very small success, I have 
tested the following operating systems:

- Debian Linux 3.1r0a , trying to boot from CDROM.
- SunOS 4.1.4 , from cdrom
- SunOS 2.3 From CDROM
- NetBSD from cdrom.
- NetBSD from a disk image 


I'm planning to test also with a disk image of a Running 
Solaris 8 system (it seems that solaris 9 and 10 requires 
an ultrasparc chip).

regards

paco


Below there is the results:

---------------------------------------------
Debian Linux 3.1r0a

Using the  debian-31r0a-sparc-businesscard.iso image , the 
system load the boot sector from the cdrom and Linux kernel 
is boot, but the system fails at the end:


qemu/sparc-softmmu/qemu-system-sparc -nographic -L qemu/pc-bios/ -hda 
hard-disk.dd  -cdrom debian-31r0a-sparc-businesscard.iso -boot d
