OpenBIOS can be used as the BIOS for QEMU and for this combination,
SS-10 and SS-20 work pretty well.

If instead you'd like to use OpenBIOS as a replacement for the OBP,
then this is not supported. It would be possible to replace QEMU
specific parts (for example fw_cfg) with bare metal versions, but so
far nobody has been interested enough to start hacking. Being able to
run on real HW would certainly improve the level of realism, for
example SBus probing is not implemented.
