Here I see what appear to me to be desperate errors when 
starting the vm: page faults, traps, something about 
"supervisor mode," and one having to with the mouse.

I have tried the OpenBSD and NetBSD i386 boot iso's. Both 
seem only to generate a mess here. :-(

I am using the generic kernels from the i386 install iso 
images. The host is Debian jessie, 64-bit afaik.

Any help, advice or encouragement will be deeply 
appreciated!
