qemu discuss - Jan 2007 - Hosting an OpenSolaris guest (Solaris Express) on a Linux box

Does anyone around knows if this would be possible, with a qemu 0.8.2 ?
I''m trying to debug an apps with strange fonts in CDE, and I''d
be glad to be able to do this from my main Linux machine (the apps is an OpenGL
one and for some reason (see another post in the X11 session) it does not work
in remote).

Thanks,
Benjamin.

Yes, you should be able to do this.  It looks like 0.8.3 will
be released any (minute|hour|day) now (at least according
to the current CVS change log).  However, when you boot
your Solaris express, you''ll need to do the following:

at the grub menu, type "e" to edit the command line.

at the -B install-media=cdrom (or whatever the exact line is)
add 

",atapi-cd-dma-enabled=0" 

to the parameter list after the "-B <arg>" and then type
<return>
and then b to boot.  you should get a valid install from there.

HTH,

Ben
