QEMU and SD Card

Sadly I have nothing like mmcblk0 under /dev. I only have a lot of mtd*
entries. I created a new sd image with the commands you mentioned, but
this image is also not available in QEMU. 

The kernel that I run in QEMU is the standard kernel that is build with
MokoMakefile. I found a module named sd_mod.ko but loading this module
also does not help.

Should I make a new build? Mine is from 17. September.

Regards
