I've been subscribed to several Xen mailing lists for about a year. I got further in 1/2 hour with Qemu than with Xen during the past year. (This is probably due to the fact that Xen is, so far, for all practical purposes, a linux-only tool so far, so I can't run it with OpenBSD). Xen will probably become more useable with OpenBSD when Xen 3.0 arrives along with Pacifica-enabled AMD chips. But back to Qemu. I have looked at the faq and the documentation, but I don't yet see how to load files from my file system to the disk image file used by qemu. Also, I am interested in qemu-arm and qemu-ppc, both to run on x86 under OpenBSD if possible. The keyboard mapping problem I reported in a previous post goes away when I invoke startx. The Xwindow programs all seem to get the correct keycodes. -- Tired of having to defend against Malware? You know: trojans, viruses, SPYWARE, ADWARE, KEYLOGGERS, rootkits, worms and popups.
