QEMU runs Solaris (SPARC) Quick summary of results with the original idea: So, instead of Solaris I installed NetBSD 5.1/SPARC under QEMU. I performed the installation using QEMU 0.13 on Windows Vista. Next, I copied .img file from Vista to Linux Ubuntu (64-bit) I also cloned QEMU Git repo. built QEMU from source and installed. Finally, I successfully booted the NetBSD system on Linux guest running under VirtualBox hosted on Windows Vista: http://www.flickr.com/photos/mloskot/5352200198/ The idea seems to work. I haven't solved the networking problem with configuring the only existing iface=le0 with external DHCP, but that's another story. Folks, thanks for help!
