Eric & Arne: I finally got both QEMU and VDE built and fired up a generic LEAF Router in QEMU. It seems very fast! I could not find how to add Ethernet ports in the man page and html docs. The only place I could find it was using "qemu -h". Apparently, the man page and HTML haven't been updated in a while.
I haven't begun using VDE yet. Once I get the VMs running I'll tackle that. Thanks for the help getting QEMU built. The CVS source is the key if you want to use the accelerator. Building it was more complicated than it needed to be, though, mostly because of the instructions on the QEMU web site. They assume you're using the CVS tree, but the download source doesn't match. The directions in the CVS tree assume too much also. Anyway, I've spend the last few days trying to get a QEMU virtual IDE disk to boot. It's easy enough to create, but two glaring problems pop right up. 1) It cannot be mounted with fstype "msdos" as with the LEAF floppy images, and 2) It will not boot. It hangs at the initial startup with "Booting from Hard Disk" message. I've posted a query on the QEMU users forum, but no one is answering. I can't afford to spend more time on that right now so I'm proceeding with a 2-floppy setup in QEMU.
