Steps to reproduce: curl -O http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3.10/releases/ppc64le/netboot/vmlinuz-vanilla curl -O http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3.10/releases/ppc64le/netboot/initramfs-vanilla qemu-system-ppc64 -kernel vmlinuz-vanilla -initrd initramfs-vanilla -nographic -append "console=hvc0 ip=dhcp alpine_repo=http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3.10/main" The init script will automatically download and install an in-memory Alpine Linux environment.
