GXemul has a built-in test machine that we support disk, networking and SMP on now. I'll try to take the time to write-up complete instructions (I've done it so many times I'd surely leave something out if I wrote it up right now) in the next few days, or perhaps rwatson will, as I know his lab is using GXemul in that way. We should try to get something on the Wiki for this as soon as possible as it's a very easy way to get started with FreeBSD on MIPS, and is infinitely-useful for debugging and some kinds of performance testing.
