You're right. I moved the decision point to obio.c for console device and 
also to boot.c for the boot device selection.

Sorry, but I don't have any Solaris install media. My main interest is on

By the way, Qemu 0.8.2 was released two days ago. That version introduced 
OpenBIOS as the Sparc32 boot prom, congratulations!
