This sounds like you're actually looking for a way to load an ELF blob as bios 
using -bios, not a kernel, no?

The preferred way to load a kernel with -kernel is to load firmware which then 
detects that a kernel was loaded with -kernel and jumps in. Once Andreas moves 
PReP to OpenBIOS, this will be the normal mode of operation there too.
