7 I don't use the gentoo qemu package, I build my own from the git repo,
8 so my answer may not apply to you.

10 Qemu supplies two different binaries: one you can run as an unprivileged
11 user (usually named qemu-i386 or whatever) and another that needs special
12 privileges (usually named gemu-system-i386 or whatever).
13
14 (Qemu will also take advantage of hardware virtualization via the kernel
15 modules if it's configured that way, but you need to use the -kvm flag
16 on the command line to make it work.)

18 I always use the qemu-system-i386 flavor so I don't even know how to use
19 the userspace version. Someone else here will surely know how.
