Hi KVM-PPC emailing list, I just emailed this to QEMU-PPC, and then realized it should probably go here too. Any cues much appreciated. -- Hi QEMU PPC emailing list! (And maintainers https://wiki.qemu.org/Documentation/Platforms/POWER ) https://www.openbsd.org/powerpc64.html says "OpenBSD/powerpc64 does not run under a hypervisor such as PowerVM or PowerKVM". QEMU-KVM is not listed here but I have heard no success report anywhere, so I presume it doesn't work. >From talking to people, I gather that the limit to running OpenBSD as VM guest on POWER, is that it operates based on the OPAL firmware interface, and for some reason previous VM:s did not export it. But also, I may have gotten this detail wrong. (https://www.talospace.com/2020/07/when-will-openpower-openbsd-be-now-now.html) Watching the POWER QEMU Wiki page https://wiki.qemu.org/Documentation/Platforms/POWER I don't see any mentioning of any of this . Can you who work with QEMU POWER support help clarify, can OpenBSD run as a QEMU-KVM guest - if so what are the steps to get it going - and or are any updates to QEMU coming that will enable it? Any cues much appreciated. I brought up this same question on the OpenBSD PPC emailing list, https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-ppc&m=163006851125546&w=2 , waiting for response. Thanks! Joseph
