Last time i installed a virtual Debian, i did something like this:
# Create virtual disk as data file
qemu-img create debian_vm_disk.qemu 32G
# Start qemu to install Debian from netinst ISO
qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -m 512 \
-net nic \
-hda debian_vm_disk.qemu \
-cdrom debian-9.3.0-amd64-netinst.iso \
-boot d
I just tested this. A graphics window comes up, a boot loader menu appears
and offers "Graphical install", "Install", "Advanced options", ...
(I think i used "Install". It was a Debian 8 ISO which i then converted
into a Debian Sid. More than two years ago ...)

Shouldn't there be a bootloader installed in debian_mips32b.img ?
Maybe you first need to find somebody who has a Debian installed on mips.
Maybe via
https://www.debian.org/ports/mips/
So you could learn how it roughly has to look like.
"qemu-system-mips" ... 32 bit big-endian ? A virtual SGI Iris ? Oh nostalgy.
Have a nice day :)
