While I'm waiting to get real HW, I wanted to play with qemu's arm
emulation. I've built binaries and a kernel with "make TARGET=arm
TARGET_ARCH=arm DESTDIR=/usr/tmp/armbuild" and the buildworld,
installworld, buildkernel, and installkernel targets. For the moment,
I'm trying to use the GUMSTIX kernel configuration file.

I'm getting hung up, apparently, on turning the resulting binary set in
to something which can be booted. I've played with a number of settings
for mkimage, but can't seem to get it right. When I go to boot the
result, at best, I get a ":" in the emulation window. At worst, the
emulator crashes.

Any pointers to web documents that does a good job of describing the
process? Google for obvious search terms (e.g. FreeBSD arm mkimage)
turns up some older pages, none of which seem to result in a working
kernel.
