The macfb device is an on-board framebuffer and so is initialised by the
system declaration ROM included within the MacOS toolbox ROM.

Will macfb continue to work with "-kernel" and without providing any MacOS ROM?

Yes indeed, since on the Quadra 800 the declaration ROM for the framebuffer is embedded within the MacOS toolbox ROM.

Even if you want to boot Linux but have no toolbox ROM? (As the ROM is not free and thus not included with QEMU one can assume that's a common use case to boot Linux with -kernel but without -bios; I think that's what Laurent was asking about).

Yes, correct. If you check earlier in the thread you can see Laurent confirms that no declaration ROM is present on a real Quadra 800. In the -kernel case all that happens is that the physical address of the framebuffer is passed to the kernel using bootinfo ready for use.


ATB,

Mark.
