Hi,

For what it's worth I can't get a kernel to boot on QEMU in malta mode. 
This isn't too much of a loss as their documentation says their malta 
emulation is incomplete. They have something closer to an x86 desktop in 
their main mips4kc target.

Documentation says the Linux/MIPS port for QEMU is 'special' in some 
way. A custom built Debian kernel runs fine in QEMU on a FreeBSD host.
