I have begun doing work with OpenBIOS. I was wondering if it is possible to compile OpenBIOS for PowerPC on Mac OS X? If not, what Linux distro should I use? Any advice would really help.

QEMU OpenBIOS booting?
by Steven Noonan 24 May '10

24 May '10

Hi folks, I've been trying to use OpenBIOS with QEMU, and I've had trouble getting it to boot any PowerPC-based OS discs (Linux, Mac OS X, etc). OpenBIOS just doesn't seem to find anything bootable. If I try booting QEMU with -nographic, I get this output (I get the same with a self-built openbios-qemu.elf from the OpenBIOS SVN as well): ---- snip ---- >> ============================================================= >> OpenBIOS 1.0 [Apr 12 2009 00:55] >> Configuration … [View More]

This hack was needed because we were using the IBM bootscript (ppc/bootinfo.txt) with an HFS+ filesystem (whereas bootscript was using ISO9660 partition number) The newworld_boot() function uses now the Apple bootscript (suseboot/os-chooser) with the correct partition number.

It finds the CHRP bootscript using the file attribute 'tbxi' and the blessed directory. This method allows to boot easily Fedora (the bitness detection is done by the script and yaboot is called with the according … [View More]yaboot.conf) but openSUSE is broken (you have to use "boot cd:,\suseboot\yaboot") Debian works well (as usual...). The openSUSE needs the missing forth words: "load" and "go". The MacOS bootloader (BootX) is also loaded automatically but forth script is too complex to be executed correctly.
