Right now, Debian contains: % ssh merkel.debian.org dak ls qemu qemu | 0.9.1-10lenny1 | stable | source, amd64, i386, powerpc, sparc qemu | 0.12.5+dfsg-3 | testing | source, amd64, armel, i386, kfreebsd-amd64, kfreebsd-i386, mips, mipsel, powerpc, sparc qemu | 0.12.5+dfsg-3 | unstable | source, amd64, armel, i386, kfreebsd-amd64, kfreebsd-i386, mips, mipsel, powerpc, sparc qemu | 0.13.0+dfsg-2 | experimental | source, amd64, armel, i386, kfreebsd-amd64, kfreebsd-i386, mips, mipsel, powerpc, sparc So you are using the one from experimental. > The installer boots with > > qemu-system-ppc -cdrom /media/sdf/debian-504-powerpc-netinst.iso -boot d Thanks, I forgot the "-boot d" part and now surprisingly yes it works... W00t! Yaboot on OldWorld!

Indeed. > I think this was actually a qemu issue because previously I would not > get tot the yaboot prompt at all but now I get to loading the kernel. OpenBIOS is probably the culprit too. I am reopening this bug and reassigning it to QEmu, just to let the QEmu maintainers team know about it. I am sure Aurélien Jarno has some clue. :] Cheers, -- .''`.
