First, let me say that I find your project quite usefull. I am trying to 
make it boot a linux kernel, so I can understand the processes involved.
I created a vmlinux.ecoff using the .config file patched in a previous 
post.. I tried to stick boot.rom to vmlinux.ecoff using ./catrom 
boot.rom vmlinux.ecoff linuxboot.rom
By running the vmips linuxboot.rom, the emulator stops after the reset 
message. In the last release there is no vmipsdec script, so I am not 
sure what options did you used while booting..
Could you please post a running rom image, and instructions about how to 
build it?
Thanks and keep up the good work..
Florin
