Thanks for the friendly advice - I aim to please.  
Here's a real (but minor) bug -

When I boot the 3.7 openbsd image file from free.os.zoo.net
on my OpenBSD 3.7 system and start qemu 6.1,
everything works well *except* for the fact that the keyboard
keys are not all properly mapped. In particular, I have found
*no* keys which generate ":" or "#" in console mode. These 
missing codes make using vi hard. Also, several keys map to 
codes not indicated on the keys. the key marked "/" maps to "-" 
and  the "&" key maps to "/". Other keys map to British currency
symbol, etc which make me wonder if the qemu-simulated Openbsd
thinks I have a European keyboard (I have a U.S. keyboard).

I deal with these errors by starting up XWindows right away.
All the keycode problems seem to disappear in XWindows.

Getting qemu to run on OpenBSD was a Big Event for me. I hope to become
a qemu developer after I figure out how to get the internet access
issue resolved. I expect to write up some qemu how-to documents
almost immediately. I will be putting them up on my website unless
you have other suggestions.

Thanks again,
Dave Feustel

You know: trojans, viruses, SPYWARE, ADWARE, 
KEYLOGGERS, rootkits, worms and popups.
Then Switch to OpenBSD with a KDE desktop!!!
NOW with Virtual PC OS support via QEMU!
