Here's the output from the Nevada v66 version of Solaris:

I have a pretty old version of the Solaris Nevada code that I tried to boot, and I got a different error: open isn't unique. I'll post actual output here in a little while.
I'm pretty new to Qemu and OpenBIOS - what's the best way to go about debugging this? GDB? Qemu's built-in debugging?
Thanks, Nick

So, forgive the ignorant question, but does this look to be an OpenBIOS
issue or a Qemu issue?
Until you figure out why the seek is failing, you won't know.
Minor comment about "seek"; this is in the forth engine file support, and "seek" actually translates to scsi (or atapi) reads. It will pre-load about 8k of data for future reads, so when debugging this, if you put a breakpoint in your HBA code where scsi commands get issued, you may be able to figure out what mistake it's making.
