It's best to run a HDD image, such as the usb disk key image, and
not a CD image.
Something like this from linux's qemu:
qemu-system-x86_64 \
-enable-kvm \
-m 4096 \
-smp 4 \
-drive file=<diskimage>,if=virtio,cache=none,aio=native \
-net nic,macaddr=00:bd:00:12:22:01 -net vde,sock=/var/run/vde.sock
For network access I typically use vde_switch and bridge with the
linux system's main ethernet:
/usr/bin/vde_switch -sock /var/run/vde.sock -tap tap0 -daemon
sleep 1
/sbin/brctl addif br0 tap0
/sbin/ifconfig tap0 up
That assumes that eth0 is already bridged onto br0, which (if Debian)
can be done vi /etc/network/interfaces with something like this
(this is just an example, the '...' just whatever else was there
before stays):
auto ... br0 br0:0
...
iface br0 inet static
bridge_ports eth0
address <blah>
netmask <blah>
broadcast <blah>
gateway <blah>
iface br0:0 inet static
address <blah>
netmask <blah>
broadcast <blah>
