Default OpenBSD and virtual machines

VMWare:

When a VMWare guest, the vic(4) and vmt(4) drivers provide kernel interoperability with the host OS.

There is no longer a VMWare port/package for using OpenBSD as the host, after OpenBSD 4.4, due to conflicts between 3rd party kernel modules and these new drivers.

QEMU:

This is the most popular hardware emulator. There are others, in ports/emulators

The kqemu accelerator is available for OpenBSD/i386, but functions only with uniprocessors.
