The usage of the console (Ctrl-Alt-2) command "stop" and "cont" isn't
practical. I'm too unable to use the "pause" key in QEmu :(

The screen provided by QEmu isn't a console screen. It's the output of
the emulated graphic card. Therefor, it doesn't have a buffer to scroll.
Maybe, there is the possibility to reroute the output to the serial
interface and write this into a file or tail tool. Never tried this before.

See point 4.

Maybe like "-hda vvfat:local_directory/". Do a google for it or check
the manual from QEmu. You need to specify it explicitly when using the
VVFAT.

If you use the RAW disk format, you can use EditDisk / DiskExplorer
("http://hp.vector.co.jp/authors/VA013937/editdisk/index_e.html";). Use
the "vmware plain disk" format.
If you use the vmware disk format, you can mount the disk images with
the Virtual Disk Driver
("http://chitchat.at.infoseek.co.jp/vmware/vdk.html";).
The QCOW disk format is currently broken in QEmu for Win32.
You can use different utilities to edit floppy images or ISO images und
use them with QEmu.
You can use the VVFAT option from QEmu to mount a local directory. It's
limited to ~500MB max. and maybe buggy.
I personaly use the MS-Client for DOS and mount a share from my Windows
XP host over the network. But this is a little complicated to setup and
a bit slow. You can see my config files under
"http://geodb.org/secB.htm#secB";.
My two cents.
