Unfortunately this image is not suitable for qemu. qemu emulates versatile platform board which is hardware-wise is completely different from raspberry pi. All they have in common is CPU. Both Pi and qemu can run same userland but kernel should be compiled for each platform individually. I'm woking on VersatilPB support for FreeBSD since it can make good kernel development and package building platform.
