Hi, it is a little slow without hardware acceleration: -enable-kvm is
the solution here if you have recent Intel/AMD CPUs. Additionally it's
nice to be able to log in with ssh (especially until you have set up the
local keyboard correctly under X), run kvm under a a vnc session and
having more memory.

qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -hda devuan_disk -boot c -net nic -net
user,hostfwd=tcp::5556-:22 -m 1024 -vnc 127.0.0.1:0 -localtime &
