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)

That 2009 blog is outdated: QEMU now lives in
git://git.qemu.org/qemu.git
and should be at 0.15.93 (1.0-rc3). Compare http://qemu.org for details.

CC'ed sparc maintainer and Artyom.

Andesas tks for the info.
upgrading to 0.15.1 did not solve the issue.

Adding some info:

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

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
