I've got offlist three e-mail messages from the people having the same problem as myself. I am still stuck with it.
If that matters I am not young and I have various health issues. I am unable to start installation on qemu mips, e.g. $ qemu-system-mips -m 512 -serial pty -hda IMAGEFORMIPS.img -hdb MINIROOT60.fs -boot d starts qemu, and on serial #cu -l cua /dev/ttyp6 Connected to /dev/ttyp6 (speed 9600) What should I do from there? Please, let someone give me a clue. Thanks in advance.
