Re: [Qemu-devel] Switch to OpenBIOS for Sparc32/64?

[Natalia Portillo]

Au contraire,

It will positively.

Currently OHW is unable to load anything, and when it was able, Mac  
OS complained about the firmware not being able.
However the Apple implementation of OF was very simple and incomplete  
until B&W G3, just enough to interpret the CHRP script in /System  
Folder/Mac OS ROM file, and load the binary data on it (the Mac OS  
nanokernel that emulates the toolbox, contains the 68 emulator, and  
links/loads the System and Finder.).

OpenBIOS is a far more complete OF implementation than Apple ones  
used to load Mac OS <= 9.
Just it need to be able to read HFS partition, handle CUDA, ADB,  
other devices, and, it will be able to run a Mac OS.

If I'm wrong, Gwenole please correct me :p.
