Surely I'm missing something but I cannot get FreeSBIE running on Qemu anymore,
and I think it's related to this change (cvsup'ed early afternoon CEST).
I changed /etc/rc in the following way:
 --- /etc/rc.orig     Sun Oct 17 09:02:41 2004
+++ /etc/rc    Wed Nov 10 18:27:19 2004

 . /etc/rc.subr
 
+mount -u -o rw /dev/md0 / 
 # Note: the system configuration files are loaded as part of
 # the RCNG system (rc.d/rcconf.sh).  Do not load them here as it may
 # interfere with diskless booting.

But when I boot Qemu, boot process stops at:
md0: Preloaded image </boot/mfsroot> 6291456 bytes at 0xc094bd40
[skip [a]cd0 recognition]
Mounting root from ufs:/dev/md0

Nothing else is printed after this line.
Any hints? Perhaps I modified the wrong file..
Best Regards
