Dear Christian,

  Thanks for your replay, I found the root cause. Need use -M malata parameter.

This looks a lot like:
https://www.linux-mips.org/wiki/QEMU#MIPS_BIOS_not_found_on_startup

Since you start the whole thing with a -kernel command line, the
firmware is actually irrelevant - so you could just create a
dummy file for the MIPS BIOS:

(as root)
dd if=/dev/zero of=/usr/share/qemu/mips_bios.bin bs=1024 count=128

Then the Qemu command should work. (Not tested, though, I've only
ever used qemu-user with MIPS, not qemu-system.)

Hope that helps.

Christian
