hello,

i'm trying to boot powerpc64le main (1f2a65222b88) using this qemu
command:

qemu-system-ppc64 -M pseries -m 4096 -nographic -serial mon:stdio \
	-drive file=$HOME/disk.img,format=raw,if=virtio \
	-cdrom /build/obj/bsd/src/bsd/dev/powerpc.powerpc64le/release/disc1.iso \
	-netdev user,id=net0 -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=net0 \
	-boot d

however, the boot fails when the loader tries to start the kernel.  do i
need something different here?  the same command works fine for powerpc64.

Loading /boot/defaults/loader.conf
/boot/kernel/kernel data=0x195d3f0+0x442436 0x8+0x14f478+0x8+0x17b27a

Hit [Enter] to boot immediately, or any other key for command prompt.
Booting [/boot/kernel/kernel]...
