It's annoying that something has regressed here though: is there an official git repo for yaboot to check out the differences between 1.3.16 and 1.3.17?
The fact that it still works on real hardware suggests that something has changed here: is it possible to generate a test ISO using 1.3.16 yaboot to see if that starts working under QEMU again? That would narrow things down immensely.
ATB, Mark.
