Btw, which qemu are you using ? with git HEAD I always have: >> *** Boot failure! No secondary bootloader specified *** and must enter the boot command directly, seems OpenBIOS still has issues parsing CHRP boot scripts... Then I still get this, despite the patch at #5182: 0 > boot cd:,\ppc\boot_loader_openfirmware checking for memory... 0: base = 0x00000000, size = 134217728 1: empty region total physical memory = 128 MB suggested page table size = 1048576 need new page table, size = 1048576! new table at: 0x07d00000 MSR: 0x00003030 found 3 translations found exception handlers! *** PANIC *** out of page table entries! (you would think this could not happen in a boot loader...) EXIT
