If this is the case, it appears that qemu-system-sparc64 is set to use mc146818rtc rather m48t59 and so there is going to have to be a qemu build patch required here too.
Actually, while mc146818rtc is linked in, it's not used (there are some machines that have similar device, so that's why it still hangs around). m48t59 is on ebus.
Maybe it's time to pick a specific real machine type instead of 'Sun4u platform'. Something that is not too far from what we have now, with PC-like hardware. Is Netra-T1 OK?
To be honest, I'm not really bothered as long as Solaris 9 and above will work, and I can migrate an existing drive image from physical to virtual (though this wouldn't necessarily have to be with the same drivers).
