Ok...
The attached patch makes OpenHackware happy again.
At least qemu-system-ppc can now start debian iso, and mine as well
(though I had to remove the chrp script as OH only checks the CRC on it
instead of interpreting...)

So now I can debug the bootloader at least.

Just posting it in case someone really urgently needs ppc back, as it's
ugly.

OpenHackware should be fixed instead, but it seems the binary in svn
has been updated after the last sources I found (archive.org has a
mirror of the dead website):

Quickly hack PowerPC BIOS able to boot on CDROM again.
...

Open Hack'Ware version 0.4.1

Seems the last update was already about ATAPI...
Anyone has the latest source used ?
I could at least fix it to check for bits on errors...

Of course it'd be much better to switch to a real OF instead...
but I don't have the time for that, couldn't find usable OpenBIOS
images, and it sees CoreBoot v2 and v3 don't support ppc yet.

François.
