 The PowerPC boot loader is broken under QEMU.
 After 0.9.1, QEMU switched from the unmaintained OpenHackWare firmware to
 [http://www.openfirmware.info/OpenBIOS OpenBIOS], a real OpenFirmware
 implementation. This may have introduced regressions on either side.

 Both the default Old World machine (`-M g3beige`)
 {{{
 qemu-system-ppc -boot d -cdrom haiku-boot-cd-ppc.iso
 }}}
 and the New World machine
 {{{
 qemu-system-ppc -M mac99 -boot d -cdrom haiku-boot-cd-ppc.iso
 }}}
 result in:
 {{{
 Welcome to OpenBIOS v1.0 built on May 22 2010 12:55


 checking for memory...
