Nope. Not ruling out a QEMU issue, but it's specific to sparc64 on Mac OS X host. I never got further on sparc64, so the errors you are discussing now seemed like a leap forward. ;) On Linux/amd64 I do get the OpenBIOS prompt with either 'open is not unique' or 'byte-load exception' (testing Solaris 10 U3, Solaris Nevada b127 and MilaX 0.3.2).
Right. So if you copy the openbios binary you built under Linux/ amd64 to your OS X host, does it work? This will tell you whether it's an OpenBIOS build problem or a Qemu on OS X problem.
It's probably not an OpenBIOS build problem. I was able to execute an OSX-built OpenBIOS on Linux and OpenSolaris. Executing a Linux-built OpenBIOS on OSX/ppc failed. Using same GCC 4.4.2 and binutils 2.20. That still leaves OS differences, the endianness, the bitness, etc. etc. Maybe Blue has a hunch?
