More developers are always welcome.

If you mean Sun4v emulation as target: there is some stuff but the
work is still in progress. You can try booting from a Linux or HelenOS
disk image, but the kernel will crash pretty early. Solaris and BSDs
can't boot yet.

For Sun4v host the situation depends on the host OS. On OpenBSD,
Sparc32 target works and x86 up to boot screen. On Linux host the
emulation does not work probably. I don't know about Solaris or other
BSD.
