>I ran into two different bugs attempting to try QEMU 0.11, under
>CentOS 5.3 64bit (fully updated), QEMU compiled from source
>flawlessly, while under under VirtualBox on a Lenvo T400 laptop.

>My goal was to try to boot an AIX CDROM from QEMU 0.11 (AIX 6.1), I

>Bug #1:
>
>It seems to complain about some 1MB BIOS file being missing or
>dysfunctional, really I did not see any BIOS files that big, so, I
>gave up with this type of boot. Then I tried below, "Bug #2", met with
>more problems, so I gave up entirely as I had no more time to play
