[OpenBIOS] PReP PowerPC "emulation"

[Massimo Montecchi]

I know the -prom-env 'auto-boot?=false', but from the openbios "console" I
was not able to run nothing (if you can help me, please!!!)
AFAIK the AIX bootloader is an ELF executable (see here
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/power/library/pa-spec12/ )
