Mike,

   Running aqemu as root lets me use the wizard to set everything up. There's
now /root/.aqemu/win7_HDA.img and I've told aqemu to use the cdrom. This
seems to be the first step: configuring the VM.

   One menu item/icon on the aqemu window is 'Start'. This brings up an error
box telling me 'no boot devices found.' Seems to me that it's trying to
start the guest OS in the VM, which would be step 3.

   What I'm missing is step 2: installing the guest OS from the cdrom disk
onto the VM. I've searched with Google and find some pages describing how to
install qemu-kvm/aqemu and the guest OS in BSD, but cannot translate their
process to my situation. I do not have virt-install installed. Do I need
this in addition to qemu-kvm and aqemu?
