First off, being able to run the SPARC platform in a virtualized environment is fantastic; I was hesitant to install the build tools on the one NAS I have - so thanks for making this available. No problems getting this up and running, though once booting into the machine it's not really "configured". Frontview/Apache isn't running and the firmware is a little outdated. This doesn't yield a huge problem as it's easy enough to start these services, though after starting Frontview and loading it in a browser it simply times out with a critical error. This results in nothing but an outline of the Frontview window being rendered, no menus or options, etc, basically a blank screen.
So without a working Frontview, is there any way to upgrade the RAIDiator firmware to the latest (4.1.7 at the moment) through the command line on the virtual machine? Or has anyone successfully gotten Frontview to apply a firmware update to the qemu image?
I'm looking to replicate my NAS completely, Frontview and firmware as well, so I can develop add-ons without risking my environment. This image is perfect for compiling and testing out console based/system modules, though you're a bit limited if you want to do anything with Frontview.
Tip for anyone looking to run the machine with more than 256mb of memory, append "-M SS-10" to your QEMU command line to emulate SparcStation 10 which allows the increase.
