[OpenBIOS] Oops: 1056 breaks Solaris 8 on Sparc 32 Qemu

Friday I tried the 1056 version of sparc32 openbios and found that 
Solaris 8 hangs during the OS initialization (during the second period 
when the spinning line (-, \, |, /, -) occurs).

The last version of openbios I had been using was 1047 which seemed to 
work Ok. So, I incrementally checked versions 1048-1056. The boot works 
on all but 1056, so it looks like something with the memory changes in 
1055 broke the Solaris 8 boot.

Let me know if you need any specific information about Qemu arguments.


Respectfully,
Paul
