Hi Warner,

My last set of updates were posted in November (see
https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-sparc64/2015-November/009750.html)
and although QEMU 2.5 is currently in freeze, I've pushed my branch to
github at https://github.com/mcayland/qemu.git
(branch freebsd-sparc64) for others interested to take a look.

I'd say that getting the emulation working in -nographic mode is
tantalisingly close and any pointers in the right direction are always
gratefully received :)


ATB,

Mark.
