As far as QEMU is concerned, it emulates a sun4u machine with VGA graphics with VESA, which simply cannot work in reality. Thus, I don't see much point in putting efforts into making that work with FreeBSD and using QEMU with "-nographic" is the way to go. Apart from that and as you say, the level of sun4u emulation provided by QEMU/OpenBIOS generally seems rather incomplete. Actually, the environment provided by the latter [1] appears to be absurd: "OpenBIOS/SPARC64 is currently able to boot the following OS/kernels: * Linux (with virtio drivers)" WTF? :) Marius 1: http://www.openfirmware.info/OpenBIOS
