Randux,
If you have qemu lockup, you should file a bug report
I only have experience with running DOS 6.2 under OBSD's qemu. I use it to migrate some Dutch payroll spreadsheets (SuperCalc for DOS) to Open Office.
A quote from OpenBSD developer Marco Peereboom, taken from a thread on the OBSD misc mailing list.
Quote:
qemu is a very nice development tool. I use it a lot to develop code
that does *NOT* touch hardware. For example softraid is developed on my
laptop and then tested on a qemu host on said laptop. When it is
debugged enough I'll move to real hardware to see if there are any
differences.
Problem with virtualization is that it is a security nightmare. I can't
begin to imagine running that stuff for anything but development.

Geeks are just like kids, having a new toy called 'virtualization" to play with, they completely forget their old toy 'Multi-booting'
Can't that old toy help you to prevent wasting a complete box to Windows?
