One thing I've learned is that the more work it takes to resolve a problem, the
less likely it is that you will forget that resolution. Thanks!
I also misspoke in my previous post. It was not a "problem" with qemu, it was my
lack of understanding, dut to my lack of reading. Qemu was not the issue, I was.
I've also enjoyed the other 64-bit discussions and picked up a few tips. My
thanks to everyone that participated in the conversations.
