I was wondering if anyone has a working recipe for how I would start up qemu with powerpc, or if there was an alternative piece of software available for emulating powerpc that could be used in general purpose automation?

Hi Garrett,I'm not strictly a PPC developer, however I do spend a lot of time developing and testing OpenBIOS for SPARC and as part of this tend to test various PPC images to ensure that no regressions are introduced.
As you noted FreeBSD-ppc gets fairly far these days; I can imagine that you're either seeing an issue with properties on PCI devices or possibly a bug in machine emulation. Can you share the command line you are using to launch QEMU?
While I don't have the ability to look at this myself, I suspect anyone with a debug PPC kernel setup would be able to find the issue fairly easily. I tend to be around on the qemu-ppc list so if anyone is interested enough to participate, please start a thread there and I'll pick it up there.
ATB, Mark.
