With your virtual disk created, load the guest operating system into it. The following example assumes that the guest operating system is on a CD-ROM. In addition to populating the virtual disk with the CD-ROM ISO image, you must boot the image when it's done.

$ kvm -no-acpi -m 384 -cdrom guestos.iso -hda vm-disk.img -boot d

Now no such command exists in 10.3A4 which leads me to wonder was the 10.3A4 kernel compiled without KVM support????

The kernel is built with kvm support.

Just the userland tools seem to be missing.

The above are the modules loaded, there is also kvm_intel for intel CPU's - all part of the kernel. The kqemu module is from kqemu-1.3.0pre11 from the qemu site, all the userland tools are from the qemu package from factory.
