qemu-system-ppc: cdrom:0, \ppc\chrp\yaboot.conf: Unknown or corrupt filesystem

[Marcus Mae]

Hi, Openbios dev list,

I'm wondering if it is possible to run ppc virtual machine on x86_64.
I execute the following:

qemu-system-ppc64 -vga std -cdrom
/home/marcusmae/Download/OS/Fedora-11-ppc-DVD.iso -hda f11_ppc.qcow2
-m 1024

, and this brings me to coffee-colored openbios room, inviting to boot
from somewhere. I type:

boot cdrom

which gives me

cdrom:0,\ppc\chrp\yaboot.conf: Unknown or corrupt filesystem
Welcome to yaboot version 1.3.14 (Red Hat 1.3.14-12.fc11)

What's the problem with it? I'm sure that it's an iso of ppc build of fedora.

Thanks!

Try:

boot cd: conf=cd:,\ppc\ppc64\yaboot.conf

To set correctly the bootarg "conf" to the path of yaboot.conf.

But I don't know if ppc64 works, try instead:

boot cd: conf=cd:,\ppc\ppc32\yaboot.conf

with qemu-system-ppc
