Im trying to run a solaris 2.5.1 vm acording the instructions of i found in this blog:
http://tyom.blogspot.com/2009/12/solaris-under-qemu-how-to.html#uds-search-results
compile my qemu with:
git clone git://git.savannah.nongnu.org/qemu.git
cd qemu
./configure --target-list=sparc-softmmu
make
(version 0.13.50)
Ive downloaded the ss5.bin bios (sparc station 5)) I have the solaris disk and i can do the installation but can't get the disk to boot.
I can boot from the cd, mount and check the /etc/system file it has the "set scsi_options=0x58" option i set to make it work, still not working:
Here is the output:
ok boot disk0:d
Boot device: /iommu/sbus/address@hidden,8400000/address@hidden,8800000/address@hidden,0:d File and args:

maybe the disk is wrong
ive try several disk one following these instructions:
1) qemu-img create -f qcow2 file.qcow2 12G
2) Add -drive file=file.qcow2,unit=3 to your qemu startup
3) Boot single user
4) echo 'disk_type="QEMU12.0G":ctlr=SCSI:ncyl=49152:acyl=0:pcyl=49152:nhead=16:nsect=32:rpm=7200' >> /etc/format.dat
5) echo 'partition="QEMU12.0G":disk="QEMU12.0G":ctlr=SCSI:2=0,25165824:0=0,20971520:6=40960,4194304' >> /etc/format.dat
6) format -d c0t3d0 -t 'QEMU12.0G' then label, y, and quit
7) newfs /dev/dsk/c0t3d0s0 followed by y
