Hi All,

Sorry I have been in South American for about the last 11 days and away from internet (mostly).  

As for Qemu System-Mode emulation the following wiki page works for MIPS...

I have not tried system-mode emulation for ARM but I have built a number of ports using qemu user-mode (using my rather large patch) for that arch.
