Ah, sorry, you can't use the upstream version of qemu to test mps2-an385
Linux images. You'll have to use a version from https://github.com/groeck/qemu.
I'd recommend to use the v5.0.0-local branch.

I had to make some changes to qemu to be able to boot mps2-an385.
I tried to submit those changes into upstream qemu, but that was
rejected because, as I was told, the qemu implementation
would no longer reflect the real hardware with those changes in
place.
