Are you talking about Solaris/SPARC or Solaris/x86? I only have experience on
SPARC and sorry but you can't really boot Solaris 10 or higher at this time.
But you can do up to Solaris 9 on 32-bit sun4m SPARC and it works very well.
You just need to have it pretend to be a SPARCstation-20 or some
I would stick to QEMU 2.6.1 or higher (and skip 2.8.0 since it has a bug with
the OBP firmware fixed in 2.8.1 and higher). I'm actually downloading an ISO
of SunOS 4.1.4 now to play with in my spare time, I'll see if I run into the
same issue.

I followed the instructions in the wiki and it worked for me.
/usr/local/bin/qemu-system-sparc --version
QEMU emulator version 2.9.0

Unfortunately I have not had any such luck to run any version of Solaris under
the sparc64 emulation. It definitely works to run 32-bit Solaris 2.6, 7, 8, and
9 on the 32-bit sparc emulation however. If your application is 32-bit only
(and only uses SPARCv8 or less instructions) then you can get
While the processor reports a low frequency (I think the SS-20 I've been using
reports 40 Mhz?) your programs run a whole lot faster than that, if that's what
the problem is. And the Ethernet is reported as 10Mb/s but just like the
processor it will run as fast as it can.

You are trying to virtualize SPARC on x86 so you need qemu-system-sparc.
qemu-sparc would be for a user-mode emulation on a SPARC processor. I've done
this before on CentOS 7 and it should definitely be possible to install
qemu-system-sparc. yum should not have a problem figuring out the depende

The FTP command in Solaris 2.6, 7, and 8 doesn't even support passive mode FTP,
so even assuming you set up an FTP server on your Windows host it wouldn't
work. But you can set up SSH on Solaris 2.6 if you have the proper packages.
There are a lot of new packages out there on this site:

I am also pretty sure if you installed the VirtIO drivers first (if this is
possible), you can then migrate the machine. If you can't boot windows to do
that, the other alternative is booting VM with Windows ISO attached and VirtIO
drivers boot floppy, and in Windows setup there is a way to open
According to Wikipedia, the SPARCstation-20 could support a max of 512MB of
memory, and I've only had good results when using that maximum. However, I was
able to add a good deal of swap space, and it could even be added on a flash
device or a ramdisk if necessary and would be pretty fast. Have
Unfortunately you are out of luck right now. This binary requires a an
UltraSPARC processor to run on, because while it is only 32-bit, it contains
instructions that can only be executed on an UltraSPARC (SPARCV8+/V9)
processor. While Solaris up to version 9 can run on the 32-bit sun4m
archit
Unfortunately I know of no way to do this. They simply haven't been able to
finish the sun4u code to properly boot any version of Solaris, and that is
necessary to use a 32-bit binary with V8 extensions. I think they could
probably be induced to do so with a corporate sponsorship however.
