[Qemu-devel] Booting Fedora in qemu-system-ppc

[David Woodhouse]

When booting the Fedora install CD, we seem to fall over on the ofboot.b
script which decides whether to use the 32-bit or 64-bit kernel.

Attempting to boot yaboot instead (with -kernel /usr/lib/yaboot/yaboot)
doesn't seem much happier -- instead it says:

        OF_property_copy cannot get property for 'alias' for <null>
        No name in node!

Attempting to boot either the 'vmlinux' or the zImage kernel+initrd in
images/netboot/ppc32.img also fails similarly. 

Are there any special tricks to getting anything to boot in
qemu-system-ppc?

Now that OpenFirmware is GPL'd, is it worth porting it?
