Hello,

I am unsucesfully trying to install octeon on Qemu (I have managed to
install it on Ubiquity edge router Lite, but I need a qemu guest for
updating the router as needed).

After much trouble, i have managed to alter miniroot for booting via
serial, if that was needed at all.
===
# vnconfig vnd0
miniroot60.fs
# mount /dev/vnd0i /mnt
# ls -lh /mnt
total 16672
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel   8.1M Jul 29 08:32 bsd.rd
# mkdir /mnt/etc
# echo 'set tty
com0'>/mnt/etc/boot.conf
# umount /mnt
# vnconfig -u vnd0

I'm trying to install miniroot.fs according to the instructions from
/usr/local/share/doc/pkg-readmes/qemu, but I am always getting the errors I
don't understand, e.g.:
===
$ qemu-system-mips64 -m 512 -serial stdio -hda octeon.img -hdb
miniroot60.fs ->
WARNING: Image format was not specified for 'miniroot60.fs' and probing
guessed raw.
         Automatically detecting the format is dangerous for raw images,
write operations on block 0 will be restricted.
         Specify the 'raw' format explicitly to remove the restrictions.
qemu-system-mips64: Could not load MIPS bios 'mips_bios.bin', and no
-kernel argument was specified
$ qemu-system-mips64 -m 512 -serial stdio -hda octeon.img format=raw -hdb
miniroot60<
qemu-system-mips64: -hda octeon.img: drive with bus=0, unit=0 (index=0)
exists
===

Please point to what should I do to accomplish it, I have already wasted
too much time on it.

Thanks in advance.
