Can someone just give me a quick overview of the "right way" to start up QEMU so that it will load the OpenBIOS firmware instead of PROLL, and how to point QEMU to my Solaris installation CD image file.
Just rename openbios-builtin.elf.nostrip to proll.elf. I don't know if OpenBIOS can be compiled in Solaris, please report if you try.
Do I need any hacks / patches to QEMU to use OpenBIOS instead of PROLL ?
The attached patch to CVS version of Qemu fixes several critical problems in Sparc emulation.
What debugging switches should I enable with QEMU to help me figure out why things aren't working when trying to boot the SunOS 4.1.4 (Solaris 1.1.2) installation CD ?
Is there a "best way" to build OpenBIOS to ensure maximum useful debugging information is produced ?
I don't think Qemu debugging switches are that helpful, but enabling CONFIG_DEBUG_OBP in OpenBIOS shows the OBP calls.
If I'm repeating a whole lot of old questions, is there a FAQ for the QEMU
OpenBIOS (Sparc32) combination that someone can point me to ?
Well, the combination didn't even exist a couple of months ago...
