Re: [OpenBIOS] operating systems that I'm able and not able to run on QEMU PPC

[Massimo Montecchi]

qemu commands are very simple and basic:

qemu-system-ppc -k it -m 1024 -boot d -hda disk.qcow2 -cdrom cdrom.iso

or

qemu-system-ppc64 -k it -m 1024 -boot d -hda disk.qcow2 -cdrom cdrom.iso

This evening I will post the test for OSs with old (r828) revision of
openbios inside qemu.
Ciao
