+Qemu 8.1-8.2 Sparc Now Timeout Boot Failing with Sun Bios
+Description of problem:
+Boot with original Sun bios never reaches the ok prompt.  You get a series of ongoing network boot attempts with the message "Timeout waiting for ARP/RARP package."
+
+On earlier versions of Qemu up to and including 8.0, you could use the original firmware in the combinations below on Sparc model SS-5 and SS-20 machines. 
+
+Note: Model SS-5 needs the cpu set to "TI MicroSparc II" or "TI MicroSparc IIep."  Model SS-20 needs the cpu set to "TI SuperSparc 50" or "TI SuperSparc 60."
+Steps to reproduce:
+1. Use Qemu 8.1, 8.2, or current
+2. Run above command line using original sun bios
+3. See result below

+Additional information:
+Glad to test further and give checksums in bios files if needed.  Have real hardware for the Sparcstation 5.  Default lance card on qemu is active with usermode networking.
+
+Sun bios helps for booting some older versions of Solaris and is generally nice to have for testing.
