   -drive file=./witherspoon.pnor,format=raw,if=mtd
 
+If no mtd drive is provided, the powernv platform will create a default
+PNOR device using a tiny formatted PNOR in pc-bios/pnv-pnor.bin opened
+read-only (PNOR changes will be persistent across reboots but not across
+invocations of QEMU). If no defaults are used, an erased 128MB PNOR is
+provided (which skiboot will probably not recognize since it is not
+formatted).

+- pnv-pnor.bin is a non-volatile RAM image used by PowerNV, which stores
+  NVRAM BIOS settings among other things. This image was created with the
+  following command (the ffspart tool can be found in the skiboot source tree):
+
+  ffspart -s 0x1000 -c 34 -i pnv-pnor.in -p pnv-pnor.bin
