Actually, the last value should be the disk image you plan to install 
your system to.  I made the mistake of putting "/dev/cdrom" in the final 
posistion, and couldn't figure out why Solaris install wouldn't see the 
20G img file I'd created on my hard disk- this is how I booted my 
install the last time, and everything worked fine, including Solaris 
properly finding and partitioning the .img file:

qemu -m 240 -hda solaris.img -cdrom /dev/cdrom -boot d solaris.img
