I've got a 32-bit QEMU Gentoo guest on my machine. For some reason,
it comes up readonly, and other partitions aren't being mounted.
Unfortunately, the initial messages flash by so quickly I can't read
them to get an idea of what's going wrong. Since /usr isn't mounted,
less isn't available. I fired up busybox, and ran dmesg | less.
There was no hint in the output about what went wrong.
If nothing else, is there a way to greatly slow down the QEMU boot
process so I can at least read the error messages, and have something to
work with?

I don't run desktop environments; I run useful applications
Run qemu under screen with the flag -curses. Then scroll the screen up
like so:
# screen
# qemu -curses myimage.qcow2
Then use Ctrl-a ESC to enter scroll mode. PageUP will take you to the
kernel log when vm starts.
