This is because the PCI controller for the Realview PBX is not modelled
by QEMU, so there is no way to proivde an IDE or SCSI controller to the
guest.
However, if you are willing to run qemu built from git (rather than
from a released version), there was support added very recently for
the SD card. This lets you run your image as an SD card image, by passing
'-sd rootfs.img' to qemu and using "root=/dev/mmcblk0p1" rather than
hda1.
It's possible that the SD card approach may impose restrictions on
maximum size or alignment of the image which an hd image does not;
I haven't investigated.
Hope this helps
