I've just tried that, and still no dice starting qemu with the new ROM:

./qemu-system-sparc -cdrom /home/build/src/qemu/sparcimage/sol8-cd1.iso 
-boot d -nographic
rom: requested regions overlap (rom 
/home/build/rel-qemu-git/share/qemu/openbios-sparc32. 
free=0x0000000070107000, addr=0x0000000070000000)
rom loading failed

Does this error mean that the ROMs are larger than the memory space 
allocated to them? Given that the SPARC32 ROM appears to load at 
0xffd00000, surely that means the ROM can be a couple of MB without any 
problem? Currently the size on disk of the unstripped ROM is around 
540KB which should be fine.


ATB,

Mark.
