+ <title>Updating KVM guest firmware (SLOF)</title>
+<para>
+
+Slimline Open Firmware (SLOF) is an implementation of the IEEE 1275
+standard.
+It can be used as partition firmware for pSeries machines running on
+QEMU or KVM.
+
+</para><para>
+
+The package qemu-slof is, in fact, a dependency of package
+qemu-system-ppc (which also provides the virtual package
+qemu-system-ppc64), and can be installed or updated via
+<command>apt-get</command> tool on Debian-based distros.
+Like so:
+
+<informalexample><screen>
+# apt-get install qemu-slof
+</screen></informalexample>
+
+SLOF can also be installed into rpm-based distribution systems, given
+the proper repository or rpm package. Additionally, the upstream source
+code is available at http://github.com/leilihh/SLOF.
+
+</para><para>
+
+Thus, one can use a different SLOF file rather than the default, when
+running <command>qemu-system</command>, by adding the command line
+argument <userinput>-bios &lt;slof_file&gt; </userinput> when starting
+qemu.

+You will need a DHCP/TFTP (BOOTP) server, as well as a web server.
+After downloading ibm-powerkvm-*-ppc64-service-*.iso, mount loop it and
+unpack it into some directory within your HTTP server www root
+structure (say wwwroot):
+
+<informalexample><screen>
+# cd &lt;directory-where-the-iso-is&gt;
