I'd currently preference the use of GXemul over the use of QEMU.
GXemul has a built-in test machine that we support disk, networking
and SMP on now.  I'll try to take the time to write-up complete
instructions (I've done it so many times I'd surely leave something
out if I wrote it up right now) in the next few days, or perhaps
rwatson will, as I know his lab is using GXemul in that way.  We
should try to get something on the Wiki for this as soon as possible
as it's a very easy way to get started with FreeBSD on MIPS, and is
infinitely-useful for debugging and some kinds of performance testing.
