[OpenBIOS] PReP PowerPC "emulation"

[Massimo Montecchi]

OK, maybe I make a mistake. It's not a problem.
My goals is to run AIX 4.3, 5.1 and 6.1 on QEMU!!!!!.
Can you help me? What you suggest?
I think there is a lot of confusion ( I also make confusion).
How I can run QEMU to "emulate" CHRP platform ?
Thanks, Ciao
