Package: qemu-system-ppc
Version: 1:3.1+dfsg-8~deb10u1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
I tried booting my shiny new kernel:
$ file g4/vmlinux
g4/vmlinux: ELF 32-bit MSB executable, PowerPC or cisco 4500, version 1 (SYSV),
statically linked, BuildID[sha1]=aec02dbaa89aea93d2cab980a6328b97de8d9820, with
debug_info, not stripped
Using:
$ qemu-system-ppc -m 1024 -kernel g4/vmlinux -cdrom /tmp/mini.iso -boot d
qemu-system-ppc: Initialization of device VGA failed: failed to find romfile
"vgabios-stdvga.bin"
It would be nice to fix the installation path.
Thanks,
The iso file is coming from the tarball:

Turns out this is simple as:
$ sudo apt-get install qemu-system-x86
I do not have recommends:
$ cat /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/99local
APT::Install-Recommends "false";
APT::Install-Suggests "false";
Sorry for the noise
