The mips bios error is actually a warning, the execution continue. Unfortunately we don't have a working bios for MIPS. Getting RedBoot working is probably the best. The problem you see is probably that you are not passing -M malta to select the Malta Board emulation. Note that the default has changed here. QEMU 0.9.1 is using the "mips" emulation as the default, while the current SVN is using the "malta" on eas the default. Aurelien -- .''`.
