Actually, yes, the "-net user" flag makes a difference. The QEMU documentation *says* that it is not necessary, so I omitted it. But if you add "-net user" then at least NetBSD can get an IP and gateway from QEMU's DHCP server. Unfortunately, that's as far as it goes. It still cannot go online. When NetBSD tries to "ping 10.0.2.3" (gateway I think) it just gets 100% packet loss. Let me show you qemu's output on the command line: --------%<-------- $ qemu -cdrom foo.iso -hda bar.img -net nic,model=ne2k_pci -net user -no-acpi open /dev/kvm: No such file or directory Could not initialize KVM, will disable KVM support --------%<-------- Judging from wikipedia, KVM is a reference to kernel-based native virtualization using Intel VT-x or AMD-V. Unfortunately, my CPU is just a bit to old to support VT-x so naturally I don't get KVM. But QEMU should not require KVM to work, since that's a very recent feature on Linux.
