[belenix-discuss] Can someone help me to finally get Belenix run under Qemu, please?

Quite possible. BeleniX bits don't match O/N bits exactly. Moinak does 
have a few changes incorporated - Like the hsfs improvements and the 
clofi module.

But surprisingly, I am able to boot BeleniX 0.6 using Qemu on 
OpenSolaris. Here is a screenshot

The GUI did not come up though. Still experimenting with that.

Surprising because I've myself never been able to boot any BeleniX bits 
off Qemu until 0.5.1 - Kernel panic originating from 
rootnex_dma_unbindhdl().

I currently use SX build 64a. Qemu (with kqemu enabled). BeleniX 0.6 - 
32 bit, acpi-user-options=2, atapi-cd-dma-enabled=0

And while we are at it, it is definitely desirable to ensure that future 
BeleniX bits are known to work on Qemu and VmWare out of the box.

Cheers,
Ananth
