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.
