Ah - cool. What I'd suggest doing is, right after getting to the ok prompt on boot -H:
ok see do-boot
Hmmm...not really working for me. I don't know that I'm actually at the "ok" prompt - I see the word "ok" output to the screen, but the prompt is actually "0> " and not okay. When I try "see do-boot", I get "do-boot: undefined word." Furthermore, almost none of the other commands work, either - get-bootdev, load-pkg, etc., all return "undefined word."
Just to make sure I didn't leave anything out before, I'm running qemu-system-sparc64 (from the Qemu git repo), using OpenBIOS built from the svn repository. If there's something else I should be trying, please let me know.
Thanks, Nick
What you should see is something like what's in the boot.fth from opensolaris: http://src.opensolaris.org/source/xref/onnv/onnv-gate/usr/src/psm/stand/boot... lks/common/boot.fth
657 : do-boot ( -- ) 658 parse-bootargs 659 halt? if 660 ." Halted with -H flag. " cr 661 exit 662 then 663 get-bootdev 664 load-pkg 665 mount-root 666 zflag? nested? invert and if 667 fs-name$ open-zfs-fs 668 then 669 load-file ( virt ) 670 setup-props 671 exec-file ( ) 672 ;So, we've already parsed bootargs, let's do the rest of the method manually (skipping zflag stuff, because I presume on a cdrom you don't have zfs).
ok false to halt? \ undo the -H flag just for the heck of it ok get-bootdev ok load-pkg ok mount-root ok load-file ok setup-props ok exec-file
Somewhere in there you'll see failures, which will give you a better feel for what's going wrong. Once you figure out which one it is, repeat the process, but manually executing the method which caused problems. This would be easier with a debugger, but it's still possible without it.
