I did a howto on this awhile back.  However, these days, I don't use
qemu too much, so I'm no longer sure how much of it is still applicable. 

Therefore, untested for months, but it's actually mentioned in the
pkg-message for qemu.

It's untested for some time, but back when 7.0 was CURRENT, it worked
like a charm, thanks to the help of some folks on this list (who are
thanked in the howto.)

Even with 755 permissions, I don't know if it would work, since it's
doing ifconfig which will require root privilege.  Use sudo in the
ifconfig part.  

Anyway, take a look at the howto and see if it helps. Work these days
takes me away from FreeBSD, so I reiterate, it hasn't been tested for
some time, but I believe it's more current than the link you mention.

Buffy: You read my diary? That is not OK. A diary is like a 
person's most private possession. You don't even know what I was 
writing about. Hunk can mean a lot of things, bad things. And, 
and when I said his eyes were penetrating, I meant bulging. 
Angel: Buffy... 
Buffy: A doesn't even stand for Angel for that matter. It stand 
for Achmed, a charming foreign exchange student. And that whole 
fantasy part has nothing to even do with you, at all... 
Angel: Your mother moved your diary when she came in to 
straighten up. I watched her from the closet. I didn't read it, I
swear. 
Buffy: Oh.
