For some reason, the boot prompt's help system doesn't work correctly
with openbios, but it does with ss5.bin.
Lastly, it looks like qcow2 doesn't work (at least with solaris 8). I tried with both bios'.
That's interesting, since the guest should have no knowledge of the underlying storage mechanism being using in the host. Can you point to any more specific error messages (again, back on the list) to help people work out what is happening?
I re-tested a bit ago and I'm not running into issues with qcow2 now. Must've been a fluke on my part.
I /am/ having trouble getting solaris to install on a custom partition scheme, or getting it to boot from the mini-root it copies to the swap partition ... but hopefully I'll be able to work my way through those issues.
