I just gave it a quick shot with QEMU 1.4.x on a GNU/Linux system. You'll want to make your disk and networking the same way you would for any other guest (eg. use a file for disk or tun/tap for networking or whatever your preferred poison is). But running something like: qemu-kvm -cdrom /home/rm/qemu/smartos.iso -drive file=/home/rm/qemu/disk -m 1024 Worked just fine and allowed me to boot up into the noimport option and log in. The biggest things to remember, is that there is no virtio networking driver at this time and older releases didn't have the virtio block device. You probably need to give the machine 1-2 Gb of DRAM.
