No, this is just not right, it has nothing to do with recent kernels:
After that fact that I didn't get an answer on my thread "Cannot boot
Belenix because of wrong grub entries" (the one before this thread)
I again installed Sidux, the dev branch Debian.

So now I give you pictures of Qemu running on Sidux and in Qemu you see
Solaris 6/06 (I got this box at the Linux Conference last year November)
booting without trouble - even without the "atapi-cd-dma-enabled=0"
boot option -.

Now, please, don't tell me that the reason Belenix doesn't boot is of
a not recent kernel.
Quite the opposite : Older Solaris Versions are rightly booting
without problems. In newer versions I have to submit the
"atapi-cd-dma-enabled=0" option for example.

And I never ever said something in a different direction, did I ?
I am trying hard to become a good member of the OpSol community.
