I'm not getting a DHCP ack inside QEMU. I'll look into that.

Try disabling selinux by appending "selinux=0" to the end of the
command line or edit the /etc/selinux/config in the rootfs first.
Doesn't help. After completely the rc3.d scripts (or at least, after
running the last local script), it sits and waits, no TTY available.
I cut a new F-15 image for softfp or hardfp the other day you might
want to start with that.

Using the same command line as above with the addition of selinux=0
on the append, this fails immediately after "Failed to load SELinux
policy" with "Failed to mount /dev: No such device." I'm using a
monolithic kernel so I'm not sure what's up with that.
