Trying to Connect

[think3mm]

Using the following on a RHEL7 VM to start the emulator:

./qemu-system-hppa -boot d -serial telnet::4444,server -drive if=scsi,bus=0,index=6,file=./hpux.img,format=raw -D /tmp/foo -nographic -m 512 -d nochain -cdrom ./hpux11-01.iso -D /tmp/foo -net nic,model=tulip  -net tap,ifname=tap0,script=no

with interfaces configured as follows:

3: tap0: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast master br0 state DOWN group default qlen 1000

    link/ether b6:b3:ee:c6:ba:14 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

    inet6 fe80::b4b3:eeff:fec6:ba14/64 scope link

       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

4: br0: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state DOWN group default qlen 1000

    link/ether b6:b3:ee:c6:ba:14 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

    inet 10.0.2.2/24 brd 10.0.2.255 scope global br0

       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

    inet6 fe80::9042:a6ff:fe72:50e5/64 scope link

       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

...it appears to start:

QEMU 6.1.50 monitor - type 'help' for more information

(qemu) qemu-system-hppa: -serial telnet::4444,server: info: QEMU waiting for connection on: disconnected:telnet:0.0.0.0:4444,server=on

However when I 'telnet localhost 4444', the emulator dies with the output:

qemu-system-hppa: no firmware provided

qemu-system-hppa: network script /root/hppa/../etc/qemu-ifdown failed with status 256

Not sure how relevant those final messages are (e.g., I know I don't have an ifdown script), but any ideas what I need to do to be able to connect and install HPUX?
