Shin-ichiro,

I could not reproduce this locally. Did you tried typing this in virtual console
that QEMU pops up, or in the console where QEMU was started. For me, the former
does not accept any input at all.

Would it be possible for you to provide me with
- Source tree of qemu that you've tested this with? Pointer to some git commit
in some branch in some git repository will be OK.
- The kernel zImage you have used it
- The disk image you have used
- The command line for qemu

For the latter three, I have used what you have put at:

        http://www.assembla.com/wiki/show/qemu-sh4/BuildingEnvironment

but I want to be sure there's no accidental differences. And for qemu source 
tree,
I want to make sure I did not unintentially based by patch on some wrong state.

Thanks,
Volodya
