FWIW, I *used to* run a few such guests. I have since passed ove the hardware
to someone who can use it better and at the moment do not have a NetBSD system
running full time on real hardware (excepting my unbound server, installed just
for a try on a RPI model B some 10 years ago and still doing its job under some
-current NetBSD 8:)... It used to work fine for me, started like:
/usr/pkg/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 \
-device qemu-xhci \
-device usb-tablet \
-m 3072M \
-k en-gb \
-accel nvmm \
-vnc :5 \
-drive format=raw,file=/dev/zvol/rdsk/pail/w10 \
-vga vmware \
-net tap,fd=3 3<>/dev/tap0 \
-net nic
and
/usr/pkg/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 \
-device qemu-xhci \
-device usb-tablet \
-machine q35 \
-m 4096 \
-k en-gb \
-smp 2 \
-accel nvmm \
-vnc :2 \
-drive format=raw,file=/dev/zvol/rdsk/pail/w19 \
-vga vmware \
-net tap,fd=3 3<>/dev/tap2 \
-net nic
for W10 and server 2019. The access was via VNC so I never actually tested any
sound unfortunately. But the systems were surely usable. Obviously from the
above, I had my virtual disks all setup as ZFS zvols, machines were connected
to the main network via a bridge as usual.
