Sweet, with that command line switch and Jim's patch, qemu (cvs HEAD) will
start up and boot linux-ppc.img just fine :)

Next, I tried to install a real Linux distro (CRUX PPC,
cruxppc.sunsite.dk):

I created a disk image (crux-ppc-2.0.img) and started qemu like this:

qemu-system-ppc -M prep -kernel zImage.prep -cdrom crux-ppc-2.0.iso
-boot d -hda crux-ppc-2.0.img 

However, it doesn't boot correctly:

Any idea how to fix this?

Thanks,
Tilman
