I've just tried following the same wiki recipe with GENERICSD images
for 12.3 and 13.1-RC4, with the same outcome, regardless of the QEMU
version.  How to proceed from here?  Is wiki recipe missing important
details?  If it works for someone, could you guys share exact versions
of QEMU, U-Boot, FreeBSD version and image type you're using?  Thanks,
