When that's done, start up QEMU with a command like the following:
<pre>qemu-system-i386 -m 128M -hda win98.img -cdrom win98_iso_name.iso -device VGA,vgamem_mb=64 -cpu host -accel kvm -M pc-i440fx-2.0,hpet=off -netdev user,id=lan -device pcnet,netdev=lan -usb -device usb-tablet -rtc base=localtime -monitor stdio</pre>
The machine argument is set to pc-i440fx-2.0, this is to get around the PCI Bus bug that persists within QEMU, And the VGA,vgamem_mb=64 parameter allocates 64MB of VRAM onto the generic VGA adapter QEMU provides to allow higher resolutions and color depths within 98SE.
At this point if all went well, Windows should reboot, install drivers, and load the desktop. If you get a bluescreen or protection error, refer to the troubleshooting section. If it all worked, keep reading
