Title:
  unable to boot squashfs through mtd device

Status in QEMU:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Hi,

  I have built latest qemu archive qemu-1.1.1 to be sure of up to date source 
code.
  I have then built buildroot squashfs image, which can be used correctly with 
cmdline like:

  qemu-system-i386 -m 64 -k fr -boot c -kernel images/bzImage -drive
  if=ide,file=images/rootfs.squashfs  -append "root=/dev/sda"

  Then I wanted to modify cmdline to use real MTD device, like:

  qemu-system-i386 -m 64 -k fr -boot c -kernel images/bzImage -drive
  if=mtd,file=images/rootfs.squashfs  -append "root=/dev/mtdblock0".

  But nothing was good under kernel.
  Even if mtd0 is reported through qemu interface (Ctrl Alt+2), no device can 
be found under kernel even if all drivers are built to use it.

  Is this feature okay on qemu-1.1.1 ??
  did I do mistake in my cmdline??

  thank you for your help.
  regards,
