I see two possible locations either /pci/mac-io/power-mgt http://web.archive.org/web/20090107152212/http://penguinppc.org/historical/d... or /pci/mac-io/via-cuda/power-mgt http://web.archive.org/web/20090107144433/http://penguinppc.org/historical/d...
also seen it under /pci/pci-bridge/mac-io/via-pmu/power-mgt http://web.archive.org/web/20090107151044/http://penguinppc.org/historical/d...
Seems like it is basically used to fake powermanagement
Agreed - it doesn't seem to matter particularly where the node lies, but I suppose it's a hint for the parent device. I'd compare the OpenBIOS device tree with the historical dev trees ("cd /" followed by "show-devs"), work out which Mac99 model is closest (hence being the model emulated by QEMU) and use that as a baseline.
HTH,

My own research indicates that the PowerMac1,1 is the model that is most similar to QEMU's model. Here is some information about that model: http://www.everymac.com/ultimate-mac-lookup/?search_keywords=PowerMac1,1
According to Andreas Farber's research, the PowerMac1,1 doesn't have a uni-north node to begin with. It has instead a Grackle node. I suspect Mac OS X reads the incorrect value of PowerMac2,1 and tried to query for a uni-north node.
