[Qemu-devel] [Qemu-ppc] [PPC64] P5020DS: Booting from img possible (-drive)?

[Christian Zigotzky]

Hi All,

I would like to say thank you for your help. My virtual e5500 PowerPC 
machine works without any problems on my PC. I can use ubuntu MATE 16.04 
LTS PowerPC with the RC6 of kernel 4.17 in a virtual e5500 QEMU 2.12.0 
machine with a VirtIO graphics card and with a connection to the network.
