Re: OLS and console rearchitecture

I asked this at OLS and no one knew of an open source x86 Open Firmware
emulator.

99% of the time it is people wanting to use cheap x86 cards in Open
Firmware systems to avoid having to pay $$ for those added valued ROMs.

there's x86 code in their ROM...
Same way X does - x86emu
I think he meant using OpenFirmware video cards on x86 boxes.  Does 
x86emu take care of that?  In any case, that's probably much less
common 
than people wanting to use x86 cards on OpenFirmware systems.
