Does the pkg "qemu-system-ppc-firmware" not give you what you want?

Wow, for some reason I never found that package in my search, sorry!
That looks to include the firmware, so yeah, I'll close it.

That's not included in any of the qemu metapackages, I'll update the wiki to mitigate confusion.

Actually, realizing now: I installed qemu-full, it's in the chain under qemu-system-ppc, but it's not on my system. I think that's part of my confusion too.

Installed the package manually, and yeah, fixes the problem immediately.
