objdump command to disassemble raw MIPS binary

It sounds like you need to use the assembler's .incbin directive.
Something like this:

  % cat foo.s
  .text
  .incbin "binary-file"

If you assemble this you should end up with an ELF object file with
the contents of "binary-file" in the .text section.  If you need the
file to be an executable you can just run it through the linker afterwards.
