This stuff is in. Definitely worked at 0.13 - 0.14 times, but I never had time to check 0.15+. >> compile my qemu with: >> git clone git://git.savannah.nongnu.org/qemu.git >> cd qemu >> ./configure --target-list=sparc-softmmu >> make >> (version 0.13.50) >> >> That 2009 blog is outdated: QEMU now lives in >> git://git.qemu.org/qemu.git >> and should be at 0.15.93 (1.0-rc3).

In order not to mess with all this numbers I used a pre-defined 1.3G disk in the Solaris format utility and created it with dd: dd if=/dev/zero of=$1 bs=10k count=133756 Otherwise, Ignacio, are you sure that disk0 is your root FS disk and not something else? Can you post your qemu command line? -- Regards, Artyom Tarasenko solaris/sparc under qemu blog: http://tyom.blogspot.com/
