-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).
