[Qemu-discuss] Sparc emulation. can't boot from disk2:d

[Jean . Michel . Schramm]

Hello,

I am new to Qemu..

I would like to use Qemu in the following context:
Emulate a Sparc5 running SunOS 4.1.3 on a i386 machine (installed in  
Debian so far) and use from the emulated Sparc an Ethernet terminal  
server hosted by the Debian host machine.

I have been using SunOS and Solaris for years, (starting career with  
"true" Sparc2...) but I cannot go further than the open boot prompt  
this time.

I follow a few tutorials from the net like:
http://brezular.wordpress.com/2012/02/17/installation-solaris-2-6-sparc-on-qemu-part2-solaris-installation/
http://infologs.wordpress.com/tag/qemu-solarissparc/

All mates there say to boot on disk2:d, but after a whole day trying  
different things I still got a Data Access Error.

Steps used:
make disk:
$ qemu-img create -f qcow2 sunos4.img 4G

Start emulation:
$ qemu-system-sparc -L . -m 256 -hda sunos4.img -cdrom sunOS4.iso -M  
SS-5 -boot d -bios ./ss5.bin -nographic -serial  
telnet:0.0.0.0:3000,server

$ telnet localhost 3000

<starting OBP> which end by:

host computer:
Debian squeeze last version stable just installed. Packages qemu  
installed with Debian Software Center GUI.

$ uname -a
Linux dp-debian 2.6.32-5-686 #1 SMP Sun Sep 23 09:49:36 UTC 2012 i686  
GNU/Linux
(qemu) info version
0.12.5 (Debian 0.12.5+dfsg-3squeeze2)

sunOS4.iso: created from a bootable Solaris 1.1.2 CD.



I tried several things without success like using the real CD drive of  
the hsot computer, another CD Solaris 9 etc...
Any help would be greatly appreciate.

Thanks for your time,
sorry if the answer is trivial.
Jean Michel
