create images to boot FreeBSD/MIPS on QEMU.

[Sunny Goel]

I have followed the steps given in below link :-
https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-wifi-build/wiki/MipsQemuEmulatorImages
https://wiki.freebsd.org/FreeBSD/MipsEmulation

qemu-system-mipsel -M malta -kernel /usr/src/sys/mips/config/MALTA ................

But after doing this I got a error .....: could not load the kernel file..

So I don't know why kernel file not able to load .

(error is in below image file .)

 

[SirDice]

The /usr/src/sys/mips/config/MALTA file is a configuration file, not a kernel. There are no kernels within /usr/src, only source code. Built object files are stored in /usr/obj/, they're installed during installkernel/installworld to where you've set DESTDIR to.

 

[Sunny Goel]

But I have checked the /usr/obj directory, that directory is empty. Is there any other location?

That means you skipped the whole buildworld/buildkernel steps.

I suggest you get some experience building FreeBSD on 'normal' hardware first. Once you know how the process works you can apply it to cross-compile for a different architecture.
