Re: [Qemu-devel] [Bug 760956] [NEW] Open Solaris 2009 Doesn't Boot

[Artyom Tarasenko]

As already mentioned in the Bug 760060,

OpenSolaris doesn't support 32 bit SPARC machines, so you should use a
qemu-system-sparc64 and not qemu-system-sparc.
(Although booting [Open]Solaris to the command prompt is not possible
with qemu-system-sparc64 yet)

Also --enable-kvm makes no effect when host arch <> guest arch. And
there is no kvm
support for SPARC.
