PS: my test image for zaurus is here:

You can run it with
  path/to/zaurus2/runme path/to/qemu-system-arm
which by default will boot up with no SD card inserted, serial console
output to stdout. Using the 'change sd0 somefile' ought to then
make it notice an SD card and print the usual kernel messages.
