I just tried that out, and just reused the config file that didn't
work yesterday, but today it just worked, also with the relative path.

No idea what was wrong yesterday, in the meantime the machine was
turned of for the night, but nothing else changed that I can think of.

Maybe some sepcific kernel modules must be loaded, or something else
that can make qemu fail with the given error message?
