Yes, I do not have disk, but it is not needed at all. I can boot that ima=
ge
on the system without any disk.

But I have tried it also with disk:

dd if=3D/dev/zero of=3D/tmp/disk bs=3D1048576 count=3D2048

-rw-r--r--  1 pavel users 2147483648 May  2 15:52 /tmp/disk

./qemu -cdrom /tmp/Solaris-9-x86/sol-9-u6-install-x86.iso -hda /tmp/disk =
-boot d

Both disk and CD are identified in BIOS:
http://tmp.janik.cz/QEMU/qemu-0.5.4-BIOS.png

But the result is the same.

I tried to boot from the same ISO using vmware without disk with success
(http://tmp.janik.cz/QEMU/vmware-Solaris-9-x86-install.png).

I also tried to boot using Bochs (unbeliavably slow ;-):

http://tmp.janik.cz/QEMU/bochs-2.1.1-BIOS.png
http://tmp.janik.cz/QEMU/bochs-Solaris-9-x86-install.png

but it is the same as using QEMU, ie. doesn't boot.
