I think (but I'm guessing) that you can't specify an IP-address to a
IOEMU network card. This probably confuses QEMU, which is responsible
for getting the SDL/VNC window to appear. You may want to check the
/var/log/qemu.<pid>.log for the QEMU that is runnning the guest (doing
"ls -ltr /var/log/qemu*" will show the last one at the end of the list -
if you get a HUGE list, you may want to delete the older ones!)
