- to avoid panics or non-working re(4) nics with FreeBSD guests if you

+rtl8139 timer by building the port with RTL8139_TIMER enabled.
(the rtl8139c+ that model=rtl8139 emulates needs less cpu than qemu's
default ne2k nic which is driven by ed(4), it has not been made default
only because it may not work with all guests yet.)
+- qemu now uses aio at least for ide dma, so if you get `Bad system call'
+crashes that is because aio is not (kld)loaded.
+- if you get repeated `atapi_poll called!' console messages with FreeBSD
+guests or other weird cdrom problems then thats probably because the guest
+has atapicam loaded, which for reasons still to be determined has problems
+with qemu's now by default enabled cdrom dma. You can build the port with
+CDROM_DMA disabled to disable it.
+- if you build qemu wihout SDL and then get crashes running it try passing
+it -nographic. This should probably be default in that case...
