It's slightly more compliated than that.
The CVS version of QEMU says it can emulate the following architectures:
qemu-system-ppc -M ?
Supported machines are:
g3bw Heathrow based PowerMAC (default)
mac99 Mac99 based PowerMAC
prep PowerPC PREP platform
ref405ep ref405ep
taihu taihu
Unfortunately, the powermac variants want a hard drive image (the open
hackware bios won't finish booting without it), and the other two are new
enough I haven't had a chance to try 'em yet.
The only way I've managed to build a prep kernel is ARCH=ppc. I can build a
CHRP kernel with arch=powerpc, but can't figure out how to tell qemu to boot
it (and am told formatting a fake partitioned hard drive image is The Way).
