If you would like to emulate this, I have a quick command line (that
works with the pkgsrc qemu on netbsd).

touch myfile
qemu-system-x86_64 \
 -device virtio-net-pci,disable-legacy=on \
 -device virtio-rng,disable-legacy=on \
 -drive id=mydrive,file=./myfile,if=none \
 -device virtio-blk-pci,drive=mydrive,disable-legacy=on \
 -cdrom mynetbsd.iso

This will enable all these devices.
