[Qemu-devel] debian-ppc on OSX w/ qemu-osx ?

[OpenMacNews]

hi all,

i've MacOSX 10.3.6 running qemu 0.6.1.

i can readily (begin to) install debian-testing for x86 w/

  /usr/local/bin/qemu /Volumes/test/debian.dmg -cdrom 
/Volumes/test/debian_testing_netinstall.dmg -boot d -m 256 -user-net

no problems as yet ...

i understand that qemu on X86 can full-system-emulate powerppc.  in principle, 
then, i should be able to install "debian powerpc" on an X86 system ...

but,

## QUESTION(s)

my *goal* state, however, would be "debian powerpc" running CONCURRENTLY in a 
qemu window on OSX.

first, i presume debian-ppc ON a ppc is a "better" (faster?) solution than 
debian-X86 on a ppc.  is this a correct assumption to begin with?

second, can qemu simply manage/launch a protected-memory space to run an 
instance of debian-ppc 'alongside' osx?  would ppc still need to be 'emulated'? 
afaik, there's no trace of qemu-ppc in the qemu osx distro ...

thanks!
