[Qemu-devel] Solaris 8 keyboard issues on 0.6.1

[Qemu-devel] Solaris 8 keyboard issues on 0.6.1

[Joel Konkle-Parker]

I'm trying to install Solaris 8 x86 on Qemu 0.6.1. I'm booting with -isa 
  and going through all the default screens (pressing F2, arrows, space)

When the install system boots, it asks for language selection and asks 
for the user to type a number. When I do so, nothing shows up on the 
console. When I press enter, I get a repeating series of the letter 'a'.

Configuring the keyboard differently when I boot the cd makes no difference.

Anyone else get this working successfully?

Solaris 9 x86 04/04 (or later) and Solaris 10 x86 guests should work 
"out of the box".

You may obtain them for free (download) from
http://wwws.sun.com/software/solaris/10/
or
http://wwws.sun.com/software/solaris/9/
respectively.

Thanks, I'm trying 10 now. But I really do want to get 8 working, if 
anyone has any advice.
