That would make sense, but that tells me QEMU is loading OpenBIOS to
the wrong location. From the book "Mac OS X Internals: A Systems
Approach":
Table 45. BootX Logical Memory Map
Starting Address Ending Address Purpose
0x00000000 0x00003FFF Exception vectors.
0x00004000 0x03FFFFFF Kernel image, boot structures, and drivers.
0x04000000 0x04FFFFFF File load area.
0x05000000 0x053FFFFF Simple read-time cache for file system
metadata. Cache hits are serviced from memory, whereas cache misses
result in disk access.
0x05400000 0x055FFFFF Malloc zone: a simple memory allocator is
implemented in BootX's libclite subproject. The starting and ending
addresses of this range define the block of memory used by the
allocator.
0x05600000 0x057FFFFF BootX image.
0x05800000 0x05FFFFFF Unused (occupied by the Open Firmware image).
So it should be loading OpenBIOS to address 0x05800000, and the BootX
image should load to 0x05600000 (the latter does as it should,
according to the debug output).
