Hi Avi,

uhm, I'm not sure, I call qemu with:

qemu-system-x86_64 -usb -hda /dev/hda2 -m 1536 -net nic,macaddr=$MACADDR 
-net tap,script=/etc/qemu-ifup -no-acpi -monitor stdio -usbdevice tablet 
-boot c

The /dev/hda2 is NTFS formatted - does this make sense, because you wrote 
sth. with raw...
Maybe another file system would be faster? Or is it ignored by the guest 
system?

Best regards,

Erik
