Today's OpenBios commit (r6294) seems to improve things a lot.  I can
now boot ubuntu-6.06.1-desktop-powerpc.iso (a live CD) and it gets as
far as starting X and the usual Gnome desktop session.  Which is a 
great deal further than a week ago.  Amazing work!

The Gnome session is hard to use because it appears that the display is
somehow spread out horizontally over 3 times as many pixels as it should
be and thus the guest X display is wrapped around 3 times horizonally.
(If that makes any sense).  In the vertical dimension it seems OK though.

Same problem appears using the Etch image:
  apt-get install xorg  and then do  xinit
