After these latest changes, I get the following trying to boot Solaris 9:

My boot command line looks like this: ./sparc-softmmu/qemu-system-sparc -hda disk0.img -cdrom /media/Sun-ISOs-2/solaris-9/software1.iso
Is "software1" the boot cd? I remember booting from the "install" cd.

Hi Nick,
I don't think I've ever tested Solaris with OpenBIOS SPARC32 (although I have been told we may have some Solaris 8 CDs lying around somewhere if they would do the job?).
should do.
Is this just an update, or are you reporting a regression?
It must be a regression. svn.738 was able to launch ufsboot (and hang afterwards due to a memory corruption). Didn't check the later versions.
If it's a regression, can you do an SVN bisect?
bisecting may be tricky because a few randomly selected versions just don't compile in my environment (debian/sparc).
