[OpenIndiana-discuss] OI using QEMU, runs very slows during booting to installer?

[serenissi]

qemu software vm is *very* slow. Still 30 mins seems too long on a 
relatively modern non embedded cpu. I think some service is failing 
inappropriately due to timeout or something else and rest is hanging on 
that.
