That message came with or without OpenBIOS?

I should test NeXTStep/Sparc (sun4m required).

Is OpenBIOS made to work also on PowerPC?
OHW currently has so bugs that doesnt boot anything.

Yes, and it is getting very close to being usable on Sparc32. OpenBIOS should be a better choice for Sparc64 because of the OpenFirmware and Forth support.

I wouldn't have thought that the proll would have needed to be 64- bit. is this just a feature of the sparc64 code not getting too much exercise?

The hardware is totally different, especially from kernel or BIOS point of view. The first kernel-level instruction from Sparc32 BIOS will trap on Sparc64. Because there has not been any boot prom before, Sparc64 side of Qemu is very much untested.

I'll try somore more tests with earlier versions of Solaris and the sparc32
module.

You may have to go back to Solaris 8 (9?) to find Sparc32 support.
