   Hi gang,

	I installed [k]qemu on my:

FreeBSD  6.2-STABLE FreeBSD 6.2-STABLE #8: Sun Jan 28 11:47:32 CST 2007  amd64

    using the ports. I then installed win2k Pro using:

qemu-img create -f qcow2 /home4/win2k 15G  (also tried raw)
qemu /home4/win2k -cdrom /dev/acd0 -boot d -m 512 -smp 2 -localtime -win2k-hack
qemu -hda /home4/win2k -cdrom /dev/acd0 -boot c -m 512 -smp 2 -localtime -net nic -net tap

   That worked, but I am absolutely not able to get acceleration
   working. A kldload of kqemu results in:

bash-2.05b$ kqemu version 0x00010300
kqemu: KQEMU installed, max_locked_mem=2092860kB.

   showing up in my console window. However:

1) qemu says: kqemu: not compiled

2) I have never seen a /dev/kqemu

3) win2k is unusably slow

4) /var/db/ports/qemu/options:

# This file is auto-generated by 'make config'.
# No user-servicable parts inside!
# Options for qemu-0.8.2s.20070111_1
_OPTIONS_READ=qemu-0.8.2s.20070111_1
WITH_KQEMU=true
WITH_HACKS_CIRRUS=true
WITHOUT_RTL8139_TIMER=true
WITHOUT_SAMBA=true
WITH_SDL=true
WITH_CDROM_DMA=true

5) the -kernel-kqemu is rejected in qemu, is ignored(?) in qemu-system-x86_64

	Now, every thing I have read indicates that [k]qemu works
   on 6.2 STABLE and amd64. So, I have to conclude that I am doing
   something wrong. 

	However, I can not figure out what I have done wrong. The
   PREEMPTION issue seems to have been resolved in 6.1, and I need
   that for cdrecord, so removing that is not an attractive thing.

	Suggestions? Clues? :-)

						Thank you,
							Bruce
