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. |
