I would suggest trying qemu-devel instead, becau= se that provides qemu-2.2.0. Last time I tried it 0.11 with or without qkemu crashed a lot. According to the website, qemu version 0.11 and up do not support kqemu anymore (see http://wiki.qemu.org/KQEMU), so you don't need that anymore. In time (and if your processor is new enough to have =E2=80=9Cextended page= tables=E2=80=9D) I guess qemu on FreeBSD could be replaced by the bhyve hypervisor that is now= in 10.x and is being developed further in HEAD. Currently bhyve can load FreeB= SD, OpenBSD, NetBSD and Linux guests. Support to run windoze as a guest will co= me in the future.
