sparc64 on qemu

[Tzafrir Cohen <tzafrir@cohens.org.il>]

Hi

I'm trying to get Debian/sparc64 running under qemu . So far I can't get
it to boot.

 qemu-system-sparc64 -M sun4v -hda sparc.img -cdrom insll-sparc64-minimal-2008.0.iso -boot d

In some cases I get a core dump. In others, it seems like it fails to
find a bootable medium (image?)

  [sparc64] Booting 'cdrom' with parameters ''
  Not a bootable ELF image
  Not a Linux kernel image
  Loading a.out image...
  Loaded 7680 bytes
  entry point is 0x4000
  Jumping to entry point...
  service close: argument count error (0 0)

And at this point it hangs and takes 100% CPU

openbios-sparc           1.0~alpha2+20081109-1    
qemu                     0.9.1+svn20090104-1      

Main system is Lenny, though.

I have no debug symbols for qemu, and thus sadly no backtrace.

Any idea where the problem might be? Alternatively, is there any
alternative way to install it? A pre-made image?

Please CC me replies, as I'm not subscribed to this list.
