Bug Description
Using boot command:
qemu-system-sparc64 -M niagara -L /home/chrisp/
After I log into solaris system I see no network devices other than the loopback device.
All the docs I can see suggest it should come up with a default network device that allows communication via the hosts network. Host is ubuntu 64bit.

Unfortunately it's been a while and no one has added the proper support to qemu yet, see comments at: tyom.blogspot. com/2016/ 10/qemu- sun4vniagara- target- went-public. html

Apparently the niagara PCI adapter has to be implemented and the firmware recompiled to enable it.
