====Guest installation instructions====
=====AIX 4.3=====
To boot AIX you need a custom BIOS with serial as the console. Fortunately Artyom Tarasenko has done the hard work for us and made a BIOS that works with QEMU. Download it using wget or similar:
<pre>wget https://github.com/artyom-tarasenko/openfirmware/releases/download/40p-20190413/q40pofw-serial.rom</pre>
Then create the hard disk image:
<pre>qemu-img create -f qcow2 aix.qcow2 8G</pre>
You can download the AIX 4.3.3 CDs from WinWorldPC: https://winworldpc.com/product/aix/43x
Finally, boot QEMU with the following arguments:
<pre>qemu-system-ppc -M 40p -bios q40pofw-serial.rom -serial telnet::4441,server -hda aix.qcow2 -vga none -nographic -net none -cdrom Volume_1.iso</pre>
If you have a physical CD, you can replace <code>-cdrom Volume_1.iso</code> with <code>-cdrom /dev/sr0</code>.
Telnet into port 4441 and begin the installation.
=====AIX 5.1=====
Mostly the same as 4.3. Again, you need to download a custom BIOS with serial as the console. The link for that is in the above section.
Create the hard disk image:
<pre>qemu-img create -f qcow2 aix.qcow2 8G</pre>
You can download AIX 5.1 CDs from WinWorld (you only need the first 3 CDs): https://winworldpc.com/product/aix/51
Boot QEMU with these arguments:
<code>qemu-system-ppc -M 40p -bios q40pofw-serial.rom -serial telnet::4441,server -hda aix.qcow2 -nic user -vga none -nographic -cdrom AIX_CD_1.iso</pre>
If you have a physical CD, you can replace <code>-cdrom Volume_1.iso</code> with <code>-cdrom /dev/sr0</code>.
Telnet into port 4441 and begin the installation.
