Apparently it can boot the elf file.  Thank
you qemu for including an Etherboot ROM.

 /usr/local/bin/qemu -cpu 486 -m 8 -boot n -tftp /tftpboot/ -bootp 
//bobcat.img

So my elf file runs virtually but when I
run it on the bobcat, it loads the image,
jumps to it, and then the screen goes
blank except for a hint that something
is out of sync.

Any ideas?
