Until r828 was in this way ... then somethink was wrong....

Hi,

the last time I tried to boot AIX (6 or 7 monthes ago...), OpenBIOS was able to load the bootloader but as RTAS is not provided by OpenBIOS, bootloader failed and didn't go further. I think it was with the CHRP emulation.

Regards,

Hi,

I have tried qemu from 0.11 to latest git (as of 11/09/2010) with latest openbios inside, but if i want to use PREP PPC "machine" the error is the same:

qemu: hardware error: PowerPC 601 / 620 / 970 need a 1MB BIOS
