Has anyone tried and got successful in deploying Solaris 11.4 x86 on Mac M1 pro (Ventura 13.5) using UTM version 4.3.5 (87)?

I'm using emulate and have tried using the System settings below,

Standard PC (pc-q35-7.2) -
Unchecked UEFI Boot
Left RNG Device as it is (checked)
USB Support - Tried usb2 and usb3

1st attempt, failed with errors below

WARNING: /pci@0,0/pci1af4,1100@1d,1 (uhci1): No SOF interrupts have been received, this ISB UHCI host controller is unusable
SATA disk device at port 0 does not support LBA

Then goes into maintenance mode
Enter user name for system maintenance (control-d to bypass):

2nd Attempt below:
Standard PC (pc-q35-7.2) -
Unchecked UEFI Boot
Left RNG Device as it is (checked)
USB Support - Disabled

2nd attempt failed with errors below:
SATA disk device at port 0 does not support LBA

Then goes into maintenance mode

3rd Attempt below:
Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996) 7.2
Unchecked UEFI Boot
Left RNG Device as it is (checked)
USB Support - Tried usb2 and usb3

Third attempt allowed me to boot to solaris 11 x86 iso (text-installer) got to the installation process. But only up to 99% and stuck after that.
