I am back to the list to submit virt progress (or lack thereof) reports.

I have what appears to be a working OpenBSD vm running in a very little tiny qemu window (have yet to launch X) on my Jessie.

Please review the following steps I took. They may be flawed so much as to account for the _lack of networking_ on the openbsd instance.

        (I chose the install option of "dhcp" rather than
    give the vm a static ipv4 address That choice, dhcp,
    works when I use it with my Vmware Player on Windows 7
    and the same OpenBSD iso image. More later...)

I sorta guessed my way thru some of this stuff:

To make the raw disk:
1.# qemu-img create myimage.img 12G

To make the vm:
2. # qemu-system-x86_64 -boot d -cdrom cd57.iso myimage.im

To launch my new vm:
3. # qemu-system-x86_64 myimage.img


Comments/corrections/excoriations are welcome!
