I have a powerpc-elf binary that is supposed to be open firmware bootable. But I found no indications about how to boot it with qemu-system-ppc. The -kernel option doen't work. I try with using the file as a drive (hda) but still no result. I began to investigate and try to buid a disk image, partitionning and setting it bootable with pdisk but I still miss the tools to format the filesystem and copy the binary into it. I try to find some info on the web but I only found info for bootable CD-Roms for particular systems and I'm a littre bit lost. Do someone know a way to simply boot the elf ou simply build a bootable disk image ? I use Mac OS X not Linux. by the way the qemu compiled from the CVS with the cocoa interface seems to ignore the options given in the command line thank's for your help
