Okay.  Any chance you have a Wiki account and can you create an account for me so that I can edit the page?

Below are some of the results that I'm seeing trying to boot various versions of Solaris on the qemu-system-sparc64 platform.  Let me know if there is other debugging info that would be useful - different qemu switches, gdb output, and/or Solaris boot parameters.
