I have spent some time on and off getting NetBSD/evbarm working under 
qemu for this very reason.   I am *close* using qemu-linaro and its 
beagleboard emulation, but it dies somewhere early, I believe in 
cpu_setup().   My working assumption is that qemu doesn't emulate 
something we need, but I haven't had time to spend on it in a few days.

I would dearly like this to work.  Anyone else getting NetBSD/evbarm (or 
any other arm platform) to run under qemu, please let me know!
