I haven't posted any images in my blog yet, so it may be the time to fix it:
Solaris 2.6 and Solaris 7 are not very different. Up to 2.6 you can already make such screenshots yourself using the vanilla qemu (git/master). Sneak preview starts here:
For some reason, Solaris 9 looks not that nice:
For all the installations I used a 'PC console' terminal type. Maybe it's not recommended anymore? That's how it looked at the end:
And yes, instead of pressing Return to reboot the qemu machine, I still had to do the following:
!
echo set scsi_options=0x58 >> /a/etc/system
halt
So, I've achieved the goal I set 7 moths ago. Solaris 9/SPARC will work under qemu.

Dont suppose that you feel up to updating the how-to with these installation instructions?
Which ones? The scsi_options=0x58 is already in the how-to.
I originally had some trouble with formatting a disk, but then i noted that there are some comments in the how to regarding this.
Where could Solaris2.5.1.iso be downloaded ?
qemu-system-sparc64 -m 256 -hda solaris-spa.qcow -cdrom
osol-0906-ai-sparc.iso -boot d
doesn't seem to work.
qemu-system-sparc64 can not boot anything yet.
Don't know where to download older Solaris versions. Sorry.
