AFAIK PPC emulation hasn't *ever* worked well enough to boot without at least
building a custom linux kernel. In addition the -kernel commandline option
have no effect, and there is no test image available.
I stand by my original statement.
A machine that requires building a custom kernel, maybe hacking a bootloader,
and creating a bootable filesystem from scratch is untestable.
