So If I try to boot from iso without disk image attached then it boot's fine: 0> dir cdrom:\suseboot\ 2048 2011-02-08 23:16:17 .\ 2048 2011-02-08 23:16:17 ..\ 154 2011-02-08 23:16:17 yaboot.cnf 405028 2011-02-08 23:16:17 yaboot.ibm ok 0> boot cdrom:\suseboot\yaboot.ibm yaboot starting: loaded at 00040000 000657a8 (0/0/fff02464; sp: 07de7ff0) Config file 'yaboot.cnf' read, 154 bytes

Oh I see - so even booting the CDROM with a disk image attached fails. If you do this, does specifying "-boot d" on the kvm command line help? The default list of devices to use during boot is built up based upon the information obtained from kvm at runtime. I'm not sure it makes a difference here, but it may be worth trying.
Andreas' last email to the list was here: http://lists.openbios.org/pipermail/openbios/2011-February/006275.html. The short version is, the basic PPC64 BIOS works but if you need RTAS then currently developer help is needed. Would this be something you'd be willing to help with?
Unfortunately I have no programming skills. Just basics.
I'm glad to help with testing.
Excellent :)
