Take a look at the Qemu docs at
<http://fabrice.bellard.free.fr/qemu/qemu-doc.html>.  I got the example
script from linux-test-*.tar.gz; it's probably in the current linux image.
The user-mode networking is /much/ easier to get working, but won't support
any incoming connections (ssh, web server, etc).  I've since written my own
scripts to set up qemu and networking using sudo; if you need them I can
bundle them up.
