What you say is trange: it used to boot with the current qemu configuration. As PREP is not supposed to use the open-firmware interface, it does not care about seing or not the PCI host bridge in the tree. So, imho, it would be a good choice not to make a change into qemu until we get a new stable OHW BIOS. -- J. Mayer Never organized
