AFAIK PPC emulation hasn't *ever* worked well enough to boot without at least 
building a custom linux kernel. In addition the -kernel commandline option 
have no effect, and there is no test image available.

I stand by my original statement.
A machine that requires building a custom kernel, maybe hacking a bootloader, 
and creating a bootable filesystem from scratch is untestable.
