You are not alone. This topic pops every 1-2 years.
> Seems that openbios is missing something that Solaris needs to complete the boot process. I posted a entry on the qemu users forum but got no replies. The boot seems to be failing after the initial boot program is loaded from the disk, it seems unable to find the second stage boot program, so it is probably something related to how the second stage should identify the boot device.
The real Sun's OBP under qemu has the same problem. I guess it's not
the problem of OpenBIOS, but some bugs in SCSI/DMA/(IO)MMU layer.
It's not the identification of the boot device though. The first stage
reads something from a disk. It just fails to find some magic patterns
in what it gets.

I would try to approach from the other side. Some years ago Sun was
selling Solaris 8 (and 9) with sources. If you manage to obtain them,
you could see what the first stage actually does.
