qemu 0.7.1 (or .2) is included in OpenBSD 3.8, but I have not got a cdrom 
copy of 3.8 yet, so I am making do with 3.7 and .6.1 for the time being. 
Physical booting from cdrom is broken in the OpenBSD port of qemu 0.6.1, 
but booting from an iso image works.

I tried building the qemu source code from the qemu site on OpenBSD, but
the make stopped because, among other issues, there is no libutils.h on my system. 
I googled a bit but did not find the file. I was informed via email that libutils.h is a 
"linux thingie". I haven't gone any further with the qemu build since. I have been 
instead concentrating on learning how to use qemu. The internet access problem is 
hopefully my last hurdle. Then I start working on some how-to's and maybe get
serious about building qemu at home.

I want to get qemu to compile on OpenBSD so I can keep up with the latest version.

Thanks,

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!
