Package: yaboot
Severity: normal
$ qemu-system-ppc -m 1024 -net nic,model=e1000 -net
tap,ifname=tap0,script=no,downscript=no ppc.img -cdrom
debian-504-powerpc-netinst.iso -boot d -nographic
Writes the OFW banner on the standard output and does nothing,
Running the installed system with -boot c gives a quik prompt.
As I understand it the install CD uses yaboot and I could not find
anything about configuring yaboot for use with serial port in the docs
so I guess yaboot cannot do it or should do it automagically and it is
broken.
