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.
