As the title suggests I ran into a little problem trying to create a virtual machine of Kali Linux usign Qemu inside OpenBSD. I edited the example Kali Linux gave on their website here to the following for BSD:
This would only seemed to work using their Failsafe boot mode. I played with different amounts of memory, but 768 seemed to be the magic number.
When the Gnome desktop began everything would fail and the vm would stop. Monitoring this again from start to fail I noticed that the vm was consuming heavy processing before it even got to the desktop:
It continued to climb above 100.00 before finally crashing.
I couldn't imagine one vm would consume too much processing on a quad machine that's not running much else. I'm a little new to OpenBSD and have never really used Qemu before.
Does anyone know any other parameters for Qemu I can use to help keep the processing load under control?
UPDATE - Tried adding "-cpu Nehalem" to specify my CPU architecture. No change though...

libguestfs-test-tool - Diagnostics for libguestfs
SYNOPSIS
libguestfs-test-tool [--options]
DESCRIPTION
libguestfs-test-tool is a test program shipped with libguestfs to allow you to check basic libguestfs functionality is working. This is
needed because libguestfs occasionally breaks for reasons beyond our control: usually because of changes in the underlying qemu or kernel
packages, or the host environment.
If you suspect a problem in libguestfs, then just run:
libguestfs-test-tool
It will print lots of diagnostic messages.
If it runs to completion successfully, you will see this near the end:
===== TEST FINISHED OK =====
and the test tool will exit with code 0.
If it fails (and/or exits with non-zero error code), please paste the complete, unedited output of the test tool into a bug report. More
information about reporting bugs can be found on the <http://libguestfs.org/> website.
OPTIONS --help
Display short usage information and exit.
--qemu qemu_binary
If you have downloaded another qemu binary, point this option at the full path of the binary to try it.
--qemudir qemu_source_dir
If you have compiled qemu from source, point this option at the source directory to try it.
-t N
--timeout N
Set the launch timeout to "N" seconds. The default is 600 seconds (10 minutes) which does not usually need to be adjusted.
-V
--version
Display the libguestfs version number and exit.
TRYING OUT A DIFFERENT VERSION OF QEMU
If you have compiled another version of qemu from source and would like to try that, then you can use the --qemudir option to point to the
qemu source directory.
If you have downloaded a qemu binary from somewhere, use the --qemu option to point to the binary.
Note when using these options, you can ignore the business of qemu wrapper scripts ("QEMU WRAPPERS" in guestfs(3)), since libguestfs-test-
tool writes a wrapper script for you if one is needed.
TRYING OUT A DIFFERENT KERNEL
If you are using febootstrap >= 3.8 then you can select which kernel libguestfs tries. You do this by setting the environment variables
"FEBOOTSTRAP_KERNEL" and/or "FEBOOTSTRAP_MODULES".
Refer to "ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES" in febootstrap-supermin-helper(8) for further information.
SELF-DIAGNOSIS
Refer to "APPLIANCE BOOT PROCESS" in guestfs(3) to understand the messages produced by libguestfs-test-tool and/or possible errors.
EXIT STATUS
libguestfs-test-tool returns 0 if the tests completed without error, or 1 if there was an error.
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
For the full list of environment variables which may affect libguestfs, please see the guestfs(3) manual page.
