6Use the executable ``qemu-system-sparc64`` to simulate a Sun4u
7(UltraSPARC PC-like machine), Sun4v (T1 PC-like machine), or generic
8Niagara (T1) machine. The Sun4u emulator is mostly complete, being able
9to run Linux, NetBSD and OpenBSD in headless (-nographic) mode. The
10Sun4v emulator is still a work in progress.

12The Niagara T1 emulator makes use of firmware and OS binaries supplied
13in the S10image/ directory of the OpenSPARC T1 project
14http://download.oracle.com/technetwork/systems/opensparc/OpenSPARCT1_Arch.1.5.tar.bz2
15and is able to boot the disk.s10hw2 Solaris image.
