Hi everyone, we are planing to get rid of some old sparc hardware. The problem is that there are applications on it that require sun4m and Solaris 1.1.2 / SunOS 4.1.4. As known qemu-system-sparc is not able to boot the Solaris Kernel at the moment.
I get as far as: [sparc] Booting file 'cdrom' with parameters '' Not a bootable ELF image Not a Linux kernel image Not a bootable a.out image Not a bootable ELF image Not a Linux kernel image Loading a.out image... Loaded 7680 bytes entry point is 0x4000 Jumping to entry point... checksum 60746d10 != 86693bac, trying to boot anyway Unhandled Exception 0x00000007 PC = 0x002002bc NPC = 0x002002c0 Stopping execution My question is how far away are you form getting it to work and in what time frame could it be done? This is a bigger project for us. So it might even be possible ( nothing confirmed yet I have to check back with some people ) to donate some money to get it to work. It doesn't need to work for all Solaris. We just need Solaris 1.1.2. If someone needs some installation Medium or feedback let me know.
