IBM AIX and QEMU Emulator?

Hi friends,
I am a UNIX lover. I have tried several unix flavors including linux, solaris(x86) and FreeBSD, all these are the unices which can be installed on x86 hardware. Now to use the IBM AIX, I searched and googled alot, finally I came across QEME, which emulates the PowerPC platorm to turn AIX on. I have access to an IBM AIX 6.1 DVD. I have configured QEMU with the following details

Code:
 
Machine Type:- PowerPC PREP Platform
CPU Type:- 64bit
CPU MODEL:- PowerPC 750
No of CPU's:- 1
Operating System:- PowerPC
Memory:- 1000 MB
Firstboot device:- DVD ROM image

Now when I start the machine, I see the following messages

Code:
 
Welcome to OpenBios v1.0 built on July 5 2009 17:36
 
 
 
 
 
 
o  >

And when I type "help", I see

Code:
 
Enter 'help command-name or 'help category-name for more help
(Use ONLY first word of a category description)
Examples: help select -or- help line
Categories:
boot (Load and execute a client program)
diag (Diagnostic routines)
ok
1  >

And when I type "help boot" I see,

Code:
 
boot [<device-specifier>:<device-arguments>] [boot-arguments]
Examples:
boot                   Default boot <values specified in nvram variables]
boot disk1:a         Boot from disk1 partition a
boot hd:1,\boot\vmlinuz root=/dev/hda1
ok
1 >

That's all the data that I can grab from this complicated bootmenu for you.
So friends, do u have any idea for me how to get this machine booting from the AIX DVD image, and install AIX?
Looking forward to your lovely and helpful replies.

Thanks in advance!

NAME
Class::MakeMethods::Emulator::mcoder - Emulate the mcoder module SYNOPSIS
package MyClass; use Class::MakeMethods::Emulator::mcoder [qw(get set)] => [qw(color sound height)], proxy => [qw(runner run walk stop)], calculated => weight; sub _calculate_weight { shift->ask_weight } DESCRIPTION
This module emulates the functionality of the mcoder module, using Class::MakeMethods to generate similar methods. For example, the following lines are equivalent: use mcoder 'get' => 'foo'; use mcoder::get 'foo'; use Class::MakeMethods::Template::Hash 'scalar --get' => 'foo'; You may use this module directly, as shown in the SYNOPSIS above, or you may call "use Class::MakeMethods::Emulator::mcoder '-take_namespace';" to alias the mcoder namespace to this package, and subsequent calls to the original package will be transparently handled by this emulator. To remove the emulation aliasing, call "use Class::MakeMethods::Emulator::mcoder '-release_namespace'". The same mechanism is also available for the "sugar" subclasses. Caution: This affects all subsequent uses of the mcoder module in your program, including those in other modules, and might cause unexpected effects. SEE ALSO
See Class::MakeMethods for general information about this distribution. See Class::MakeMethods::Emulator for more about this family of subclasses. See " mcoder" for documentation of the original module. perl v5.10.1 2004-09-06 MakeMethods::Emulator::mcoder(3pm)
