Sorry, I didn't wait for your Rb because the patch was a good candidate
for -rc3. It is merged now.

Yes,

Here is another QEMU bug found by FreeBSD :
 
427ef2ee-6871-0d27-f485-90ad142f6266@kaod.org/">https://lore.kernel.org/qemu-devel/427ef2ee-6871-0d27-f485-90ad142f6266@kaod.org/

It would be interesting to boot directly the PowerNV machine from a
FreeBSB kernel and a minimum inirtd without using the skiroot images
and an iso. Are images available ?

Thanks.
