No no, I meant that the Sparc target is dead in the water, same as PPC, but on the x86 target, the Solaris 10 installer gets into X and shows the console in the corner of the screen before it freezes. My point here is that even the x86 target isn't all that good for running Solaris, although I haven't experimented much with altering the virtual hardware configuration to see if that problem would go away. I do hope that the next release of Qemu will show some marked improvement in compatibility in all targets. Ever the optimist.. Eric Wood
