To the best of my knowledge, qemu is the thing you're
doing wrong :-)

I have so far not been able to boot an image created
by mkimg with a FreeBSD-hosted qemu.
o   VMware and VirtualBox are fine.
o   A non-FreeBSD hosted qemu also works fine.

If your host is running -current, make sure to set
MALLOC_CONF=junk:false. It improves behaviour on
FreeBSD for boot0/boo1.

HTH (probably not),
