I'll try to help but I haven't done this in a while, so my memory
is a little fuzzy. If something I say is a little off, or really off,
feel free to let me know.

You will need to go to "Add New Hardware" in the "Control Panel" and
then (after it has scaned for plug&play hardware and finds none) choose
to install a network adaptor from the list (i.e. skip detection of
non-plug&play hardware). Install a Novel/Antherm 2000 card. (Apologies for
bad spelling.) I don't remember what the manufactor was, it's
either Microsoft, Novel, or Novel/Antherm. I think. Set the
IO mem range that starts with 300 (300-3FF iirc), and the IRQ to 9. Take
defaults for everything else. Finally reboot. If all goes well, it
should work. (In my case I had to apply a patch and recompile qemu,
but that was for qemu 0.5.2)

For graphisc card, you really can't do much. The best I was able to do was
to install SVGA but that doesn't give you much. At least it gets rid
of that annoying prompt to install a new video adaptor. If you want to
install SVGA despite its lack of benefits, go back to the "Add New
Hawrdware" wizard and choose display adaptor from the list. Then choose
Standard SVGA Display (the manufactor is one of those "[Standard...]" things,
I don't remember which one). From there just take the defaults for everything
and then reboot.

As for sound I haven't gotten to that yet. If youdo get it to work, be sure
to let me know how you did it. ;)
