Mark,

Is the information on the blogspot link available at another location
(perhaps on this mailing list)?  Where I work we have a fairly tight
internet policy, so most blogs are inaccessible (both artyom's and the
virtuallyfun one).

Hi Brian,

Nick did a very nice write-up of his experience based upon the above 
blog which should help here: 
http://lists.openbios.org/pipermail/openbios/2011-April/006349.html.

Also don't forget you'll need a reasonably recent QEMU and the OpenBIOS 
ROM image downloadable from 
http://www.siriusit.co.uk/tmp/openbios-sparc32 if you can't build your own.

HTH,

Mark.
