Great job! We are closer to get rid of OpenHackware.

However I have tried those patches with the latest SVN from OpenBios,
and I am unable to get the machine booting. Do we need other patches for
OpenBios or QEMU? It would be nice to make them available, even if they
are not ready for merge.

Cool!

Sadly I've lost access to the server I used to test ppc builds (stupid
ISP going bankrupt without warning), I'll have to make room on disks
here to resume work.

Actually, I wonder if it won't be simpler to just remove OpenHackware
and always use the OpenBIOS image.

I'm inclined to agree.
Supporting two different bios just adds confusion, especially when they're 
both broken.

This would make things easier. Updated patch attached.

This patch looks good, I think it could be merged. Any objection to that?

While OpenBIOS is not fully functional, I think we should allow to load OpenHackware.
