At the moment the SPARC FS machine configuration comes with a hardcoded value for using the Solaris 10 disk image from the OpenSPARC tarball. The --disk-image option is completely ignored for SPARC. This simple patch modifies the behavior so that --disk-image option is both taken into account and also required. This makes it possible to easily change SPARC FS images without having to modify the configuration files.

  • successfully ran SPARC FS simulation with --disk-image pointed to a HelenOS ISO image
  • successfully ran SPARC FS simulation with --disk-image pointed to the Solaris 10 image from the OpenSPARC tarball
  • verified that not specifying a --disk-image option results in a sensible error message
