freebsd stable - Dec 2004 - QEMU

Is anybody running qemu successfully on 5-stable? I'm trying to boot a 
knoppix live-cd from iso-image with:

qemu -cdrom knoppix.iso -boot d

It always reboots the computer (no core-dump, no panic, just reboot - 
and that's as user-started process, not under root). Same thing under 
X11 or console.

I've never used qemu before, so it could be my fault :)

I ran the NetBSD 2.0 LiveCD with QEMU last night with no problems (as my
normal user and not as root):
$ qemu -boot d -cdrom i386live.iso
$ pkg_info | grep qemu
qemu-0.6.1s.20041115 QEMU CPU Emulator
$ uname -v
FreeBSD 5.3-STABLE #28: Sun Dec 12 02:01:55 CST 2004...

Last night was actually my first time to use QEMU.  I was impressed that
it was so easy to use.  In fact, I was up and running in literally 15
seconds.  Take *that* MS Virtual PC 2004 SP1...

I tried to build it from ports on amd64 but the compiler segfaulted. :-(
So it might be interesting to know what platform you're running on. From
the compiler output I could see a lot of size mismatch warnings, i.e. 64
bit issues.

I've used qemu on Linux before (that's how I tried FreeBSD first), and
it ran fine. However, there are at least two qemu binaries built, one
that uses the hosts MMU, and one that has software MMU
emulation. I'd use the last one if I were you. I never could get the one
that uses the host MMU to work.
