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.
I've just checked on OSX/i386, and both stock and custom openbios- sparc64 boot without the reported crash. So it's likely not a 32-bit issue and it's not Mac OS X per se...
This is what I got booting Debian GNU/Linux 4.0r3 with -nographic btw:
[...] Remapping the kernel... done. Booting Linux... Inconsistent console: input 5, output 5 EXIT 11a>
Without -nographic it hangs after "Remapping the kernel... done.", making the fan spin louder and not dropping back to the OpenBIOS prompt.
