Took a minute to snarf your 9pi2.qemu off of contrib and run it on my 8.0.0... (it wasn't there last night; depends on when 9pio syncs the web interface, I suppose) 

It runs just peachy. Based on the diffs you supplied, it looks like my bcm sources (from the latest r4 ISO) are not the same as yours. I don't use 9front. What is the best way to make sure my bcm (and 9) kernel trees are the same as your current tree? I suspect we have a slight deviation that is enough to cause this kernel not to boot. Otherwise, I've added your changes to my tree...

Thanks for your time! This is helpful.

I've now reinstalled QEMU from debian unstable, which gives me v8.0.4.
Using the 9pi2.qemu in my contrib, it still boots for me, without any
loop at 0xffff000c.
