Thanks for the hints rgc. They got me a little further too. I got a blessed
iso made with the following commands:
mkhybrid -part -r -hfs -hfs-bless tmp/ofwboot \
-path-list path-list -o boot.iso tmp/
Where path-list just contains the list of programs that lie in tmp/ in my
case bsd.rd, bsd and ofwboot.
The darndest thing is that with the PROPOLICE kernel bsd now panics on
zscninit() so I'm personally in need of a NO_PROPOLICE GENERIC kernel and also
have the ohci removed (which -nodefaults didn't remove).
When I get home later today (I'm currently away from home) I'll compile such
a kernel and I'll report back if I can boot into the installed system then.
This has been very educational for me. And I thank Hannu for starting this
topic. Having a QEMU anything is always good to have. I can live without
the -nic for now as long as I can compile kernels in QEMU on this amd64 MBP.
PS: I bypassed the zscninit panic by screwing with the register of
/aliases/scca which breaks zscninit and continues to boot (but then I'm not
seeing anything on console after the kernel finished). The command for that
was
" reg" delete-property
in openfirmware after cd'ing into /aliases/scca. It may seem I'm just breaking
things but I view it as intelligently breaking things to get beyond a spot to
see what's after.
