Thanks!

But only a little bit further. The situation is the same for Solaris 9 x8=
6
and Solaris 10 x86, so I'll describe it together:

QEMU (current CVS):

/tmp/QEMU/bin/qemu -boot d -cdrom Solaris-10-x86/sol-10-install-b54-x86.i=
so -hda hda.img -m 256 -fda floppy.img=20

Solaris now boots, but when you press F2 to continue (with full device
scan), it will end up with

Scanning: Windows Sound System Compatible

thus you have to reboot and do Specific Scan (F3) instead. Disable all
devices except sound related (ie. Windows Sound System Compatible and ADS
Sound Blaster) and continue.

Then you mark CD as boot device and continue.

But this is everything. Installation process stops here. For both 9 and 1=
0.

In one of several tries, Solaris installation program also printed No RTC
date!? to the screen:

I was going to compile a list of innovations that could be attributed to
Microsoft. Once I realized that Ctrl-Alt-Del was handled in the BIOS,
I found that there aren't any.
