 |
|
I want to install Gentoo SPARC in QEMU, but:
1. I don't know how to specify a 64-bit SPARC CPU, if this is even necessary.
2. I am too ignorant to understand how to boot the most recent live CD. |

Make sure you have your qemu/kvm compiled with the following:
QEMU_SOFTMMU_TARGETS=sparc64
QEMU_USER_TARGETS=sparc64
"emerge -avDN qemu qemu-kvm" uses the default flags, don't need to edit them much.
I suggest that you just install everything, you never know when do you need it.
Fetch the gentoo minimal install iso for sparc, boot it up(command follows), you'll need to use your internet connection to install packages and fetch the various things needed from the qemu virtual machine.
Here's what I have in one of my virtual machine scripts:
| Code: |
#!/bin/bash
# created by jude pereira
# this is the developmental gentoo server on which development will take place
# if you are unsure if you should use this, then you don't need to use this
# ~by order!
# v1.2
qemu-kvm \
-boot c \
-cpu qemu64,+ssse3,+ht,+monitor,+vmx,+est,+cx16,+xtpr -smp 2 -m 384M \
-hda '/media/Clustrix_Data0/devel/gentoo_build/the_system.devel' \
-net nic,vlan=0 -net user,vlan=0 \
-localtime -nographic -curses \
-redir tcp:8022::22 \
-redir tcp:8021::21 \
-redir tcp:8080::80 \
-name "the_system developmental server"
# you can ssh into this server by
# $ ssh root@127.0.0.1 -p 8021
# or add 127.0.0.1 the_system.devel into your /etc/hosts
# $ ssh root@the_system.devel -p 8021

Okay so hands off, you'll need to change qemu-kvm to qemu-system-sparc, and remove the extra flags that I've added. Keep the -redir tcp:8021::21, as you can ssh into the machine later, if needed. To boot from the iso image, add -cdrom /path/to/gentoo-iso-for-sparc.iso
Leave the net as it is, with this, you can just directly access your already connected host internet, and can also ssh into the machine.
You can find a list of all sparc cpus available by qemu-system-sparc -cpu ?
Hope you found this useful
