I am trying to get any PowerPC *BSD system running on the Qemu emulator of a 'pseries-3.0' machine with a power9 CPU - I tried your FreeBSD-11.2*-powerpc64* live CD iso, and the emulator loads IBM Open Firmware BIOS & loads CD image, but then just hangs - no messages appear from FreeBSD . I have built latest Qemu with PowerPC emulator on an IBM LinuxOne (s390x) machine, and am trying to run a PowerPC emulator with a variety of RTOS-es / alternative open-source OS-es under Qemu . The Qemu command I am using is: qemu-system-ppc64 -machine pseries -cpu power9 -smp 2 -realtime mlock=on \ -m 2G -cdrom /data/FreeBSD-11.2-RELEASE-powerpc-powerpc64-dvd1.iso \ -drive file=/data/freebsd.hd.img,format=raw \ -boot d -nographic -serial mon:stdio\ -prom-env 'boot-device=cd:1' -prom-env 'boot-args=-C -h -v -s' It says: ' SLOF ********************************************************************** QEMU Starting Build Date = Jun 21 2018 19:08:08 FW Version = git-7d37babcfa48a6eb Press "s" to enter Open Firmware.

Successfully loaded ' nothing happens, I wait (a long time) and press + 'x' to exit. ' QEMU: Terminated ' It doesn't look like it is able to boot at all. Is FreeBSD meant work without Apple firmware or on IBM Open Firmware ? I wanted to start off with FreeBSD , but am having no joy. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks & Regards, Jason
