I personally would never consider running qemu under windows and then
using it for anything related to OpenSolaris - including Belenix. And
most of the people I know feel the same....
If you're serious about OpenSolaris and Belenix - then use OpenSolaris
related technology. Anything windows related is off topic on this
list.
If you're serious about OpenSolaris - you'll dedicate a machine to
running it - or, at the very least, a bootable disk drive....
Otherwise you'll have very limited technical credibility on these
lists.
