When that's done, run the following command:
 
<pre>qemu-system-i386 -hda win98.img -cdrom win98_iso_name.iso -device VGA,vgamem_mb=64 -cpu host -accel kvm -M pc-i440fx-2.0,hpet=off -net nic,model=pcnet -net user -localtime</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 is useful for the recommended Video Driver in the guide, essentially it allocates 64MB of VRAM onto the generic VGA adapter QEMU provides to allow higher resolutions and color depths within 98SE.
 
We set the memory to 128 MB, but it can run on as low as 8 MB of RAM, although this isn't recommended if you want to be running any programs.
