According to the docs on http://qemu.org/qemu-doc.html#SEC45, Qemu "is
able to boot a Linux kernel and to run a Linux Debian installation from

I downloaded debian-31r1a-mips-netinst.iso image, and tried to start it:
# qemu-system-mips -boot d -m 128 -cdrom debian-31r1a-mips-netinst.iso
mips_r4k_init: start
mips_r4k_init: load BIOS '/usr/share/qemu/mips_bios.bin' size 131072
The only thing that happen is Qemu window being open, black all the time.
When checked with "top", qemu-system-mips process takes about 70-80% of
CPU time.
I created the /usr/share/qemu/mips_bios.bin file with dd command.
Why doesn't it start for me?
(A) You have to build a qemu-specific kernel to use the MIPS QEMU.
