The required block device driver and filesystem must be built into the kernel (i.e. not as modules) or you will not be able to mount access it. In that case I am afraid the link I gave you will not be very helpful - you just need to enable to right device driver. Unless QEmu did not like your disk image, but in that case I guess it would have complained.
