after installing every related package known to man qemu gives me the
following cpu options:

$ qemu -cpu ?
x86           [n270]
x86         [athlon]
x86       [pentium3]
x86       [pentium2]
x86        [pentium]
x86            [486]
x86        [coreduo]
x86          [kvm32]
x86         [qemu32]
x86          [kvm64]
x86       [core2duo]
x86         [phenom]
x86         [qemu64]
x86           [host]

which seems inconsistent with idea that it can handle ppc (which i'd
like to figure out to allow others without ppc machines to do some testing).

i've managed to figure out there is qemu-system-ppc (part of the
qemu-system package):

$ qemu-system-ppc -cpu ? | grep G4
PowerPC G4               PVR 000c0209

(that is one of *398* options!) but it seems to require openbios-ppc
which seems to exist only as a source package on ubuntu. i could always
build it but i'd like to make this as easy as possible for people. any
ideas?

btw i'm not yet running this up the qemu flagpole because this really is
more of a question of the particular ubutnu implementation.

thx
