How? It doesn't. It boots directly a bootloader: yaboot for Linux, bootX for Mac OS X... It never boots a kernel directly, or if it does, that just means that the bootloader is contained at the start of the OS image. In that case, using qemu options should be sufficient: qemu -kernel -append But you won't be able to boot using a bloc device this way, only boot from memory: the OF boot device won't be set. But if the kernel knows where to boot (like Linux does, using its options), you may succeed. -- J. Mayer Never organized
