release announcement is here: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2009-12/msg02151.html Quoting from pkg-message: - kqemu is no longer supported in qemu upstream after the 0.11 branch was created, which means also not in this version. (Linux has moved on to kvm now for qemu(-like) virtualization needs, so if you want qemu to go faster and don't want to switch to virtualbox or stick to the older emulators/qemu port which is at 0.11.1 atm and as such still supports kqemu you should help getting the FreeBSD kvm port updated and completed: http://wiki.freebsd.org/FabioChecconi/PortingLinuxKVMToFreeBSD )

QEMU is a FAST! processor emulator using dynamic translation to achieve
|
|
good emulation speed.
|
|
QEMU has two operating modes:
|
|
|
|
* Full system emulation. In this mode, QEMU emulates a full system
|
|
(for example a PC), including a processor and various peripherials.
|
|
It can be used to launch different Operating Systems without rebooting
|
|
the PC or to debug system code.
|
|
* User mode emulation (Linux host only). In this mode, QEMU can launch
|
|
Linux processes compiled for one CPU on another CPU. It can be used to
|
|
launch the Wine Windows API emulator or to ease cross-compilation and
|
|
cross-debugging.
|
|
|
|
As QEMU requires no host kernel patches to run, it is very safe and easy to use.

Many live cd isos also work.
