Hi all,
    I tried getting FreeBSD-ppc/-ppc64 to run on qemu recently with
the 9/10/11 release media and I ran into boot issues (or probably user
error in booting up qemu with the images) -- the image would hang
right around mountroot.
    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?
Thank you :)!
