Hi, Nigel.
Support for powerpc64 is available since FreeBSD 9.0-RELEASE, I think.
FreeBSD 11.2-RC2 boots fine in QEMU (at commit 46012db666990ff2eed1d3dc)
running on an x86 host with accel=tcg. Below are the steps I have
followed to boot it.
Build QEMU:
$ mkdir build && cd build
$ ../configure
Nigel, looking at https://www.freebsd.org/platforms/ppc.html it seems
like FreeBSD does not support the pseries machines yet, only some
flavours of PowerMac machines. So you should either use the "qemu-
system-ppc" binary (without the "64" suffix), or you've got to specify
one of the Mac machines,
Latest version from git, using FreeBSD10.0:
qemu-system-ppc64 -cdrom FreeBSD-10.0-RELEASE-powerpc-disc1.iso -hda
freebsd10.0-ppc -m 256 -boot d -k en-us:

I used the -nographic option as well, but lost it in the copy and paste.

Hi.
The same issue from here.
-
me@host:~$ qemu-system-ppc -cdrom FreeBSD-8.2-RELEASE-powerpc-disc1.iso \
-hda freebsd8.2-ppc.img -m 94 -boot d -bios /usr/share/openbios/openbios-ppc

qemu: warning: could not load VGA bios 'video.x'
Also I can confirm that I have this problem on QEMU.
I had tried booting FreeBSD8.1-ppc under QEMU (Linux x86_64 host; PPC guest)
but there seems to be a problem with whatever the FreeBSD8.1 kernel does, that
QEMU's PPC emulation can't handle.
I am using the latest version of QEMU from GIT as
I did a git log command, and the first line is
2446333cd5b5c985f6517dee7004e542ecacd21c. Is that what you mean by a
git hash? If so, I hope it helps.

It looks like a firmware issue. Please report this to

Please confirm that you tested with qemu-system-ppc, not qemu-system-
ppc64.
I got the above 32-bit boundary message with ppc64 - but that's to be
expected. And given that I didn't see your message running 32-bit PPC I
want to ensure that you did try with the 32-bit emulator.
