Re: [Qemu-devel] [Bug 1262081] qemu-system-sparc in qemu 1.7.0 fails to boot with Sun ROM

[Peter Bartoli]

Very welcome!  Thanks for the awesome software.  It's allowed me to put my 
SparcServer 5 out to pasture as a demonstration machine.  Really, really hoping 
that it supports the tcx with OBP at some point soon ... that'd be very cool.

I filed a separate bug report on that before realizing that it didn't
work quite by design/limitation; please pardon my ignorance.
