It is needed to boot Fedora-10 as we must specify the path to the yaboot.conf.
To boot Fedora:
boot cd: conf=cd:,\ppc\ppc32\yaboot.conf
so "bootpath" is "cd:", and "bootargs" is "conf=cd:,\ppc\ppc32\yaboot.conf"

To keep compatibility with yaboot (tested with debian install CD),
put in bootpath a fully qualified path (<device>:<partition>,<filename>)
git-svn-id: svn://coreboot.org/openbios/openbios-devel@442 f158a5a8-5612-0410-a976-696ce0be7e32
<boot-script>boot &device;:1,\suseboot\yaboot.ibm</boot-script>.
This would evaluate to boot cd:0,1\suseboot\yaboot.ibm which results
in a file not found error (seen on many openSUSE ppc media).
With this patch the above will evaluate to boot cd:0,\suseboot\yaboot.ibm
and yaboot will load.

Load two first sectors of the partition and check quik signature ('QUIK').
If it is quik, execute it to boot.
Currently partition and parameter are hardcoded to "hd:2" and "Linux".

This patches copies all needed ppc files to qemu and modifies them.
The generated OpenBIOS image must be loaded at adresse 0xfff00000 by Qemu.
It is able to load Yaboot from disk and Yaboot is able to load Linux, but Linux hangs somewhere... of course it needs more work (but this cleans up my patch queue).
Thank you to Blue Swirl and Aurelien Jarno for their help.
