How to boot FreeBSD image under Qemu

Question

I have a FreeBSD image that contains /boot/loader* and /boot/kernel and more. It boots fine under an EC2 instance but I would like to boot it with Qemu. I have tried various methods, but they have not worked. See below.

qemu-system-x86_64 -kernel kernel -nographic -append 'console=ttyS0' disk.img
qemu-system-x86_64 -kernel loader -nographic -append disk.img
