If you haven't still figured this out, the simplest way to do this is through Virtual VFAT. Virtual VFAT enables to access a host directory as a hard disk. To a -hd[abcd] option pass the host directory path prefixed by 'fat:' as shown below $ qemu -hda myhd.img -hdb fat:/host/dir/path Within the guest system, the directory tree under '/host/dir/path' will be available as a separate drive.
