(1) This SS-5 ROM doesn't boot on QEMU. You can see this if you try it on a Linux host : the display stays black. (2) The Cocoa UI frontend doesn't black the screen on startup (or on resize) the way the SDL frontend does, so if the guest hasn't tried to display anything to the screen post-resize you get the old garbage of the window decoration displayed. We should probably fix (2), though it's only a cosmetic issue and you won't even see it if you have a functioning guest. I expect you care more about (1) and you'll do better with a bug report that's clear that it's a generic SPARC guest issue. thanks -- PMM
