Without the QEMU command line and a link to the FreeBSD .iso
that's rather hard... "above 32-bit boundary" sounds like ppc64,
but the PowerPC,750 (G3) is 32-bit only. Could be some QEMU guest
vs. host bitness issue, or just the bootloader going haywire due
to bugs in OpenBIOS.

I gave the command line in the original posting, but something
chopped it. Let me cut 'n' paste again. If it still fails to come
through, everything is logged at

"Has anyone tried booting FreeBSD8.1-ppc under QEMU (Linux x86_64
host; PPC guest)? I can get Linux/PPC to run fine, and
FreeBSD8.1-i386 as well; but there seems to be a problem with
whatever the FreeBSD8.1 kernel does, that QEMU's PPC emulation can't
handle.

<p>I am using the latest version of QEMU from GIT as of 25/8/10. I
don't know how to get a "git commit hash", so I can't quote it.</p>
<p>The kernel starts OK then loops after "Kernel entry at 0x100100
