Note it's the A10 based Cubieboard (sun4i?); Cubietruck is A20 (sun7i).

I'm guessing it would be 'qemu-system-arm -machine cubieboard -kernel
... -initrd ... -append "..." ...' (i.e., don't expect full U-Boot).

Not sure what storage options are available for which of the lesser
known emulations for accessing the rootfs.

qemu-system-arm -M \? gives a list of available machine options - not
all supported by openSUSE (ARM9 etc.) but highbank, midway, smdkc210,
vexpress-a9, vexpress-a15, xilinx-zynq-a9 are some of the other possibly
interesting emulations available on Leap.

dracut -N might help create an ad-hoc initrd that works for all such
boards without needing to build a full JeOS image for each.

Cheers,
Andreas
