Kevin,

While I'm not an expert with qemu, I have been using instead VMPlayer, which 
is free for screenshots/testing/etc with the different flights of Dapper.  
mgalvin wrote up a great wiki article on using qemu and vmplayer to get 
things up and working.

Basically create the vmplayer image file in qemu: qemu-img create -f vmdk 
NAME.vmdk SIZE and then use VMPlayer to launch the virutal machine and run 
everything under it.  Networking is a lot easier in vmplayer and the virtual 
machine runs a heck of a lot faster in VMPlayer in Qemu from personal 
experience.
I don't have access right now to more then just email so I can grab the exact 
Wiki page link, but just search for qemu and vmplayer in the wiki.

Hope that helps,
