But now I'm stuck with a missing firmware.
How do I get a firmware to start a VM?
You need to download QEMU_EFI firmware blob like this one
Code:

Thanks for putting together the guide on this, very helpful!
Do you know if anyone is working on using QEMU without toggling some of the cores off? Is there maybe a GitHub issue I could follow? I'm running into this issue on NixOS, kernel 5.6.0 and QEMU 4.2.0.

Thanks, I will check. I think first I should try building 5.x.

Manjaro with the 5.7.19-1 kernel: I was able to use QEMU without KVM and without LIBVIRT - command line only, and get a few things working. Not fast, and it is not pretty, but FreeDOS 1.3 <beta> worked. If you can live without the gui you might make things work that would fail under Virt-Manager. I am not even TRYING to track down why!
PS: this was WITHOUT disabling any cores!
And running a couple of other things at the same time. This is much better behavior than I expected.

On Debian I was able to get Windows 95 to run under libvirt+QEMU on my PBP. It was pretty slow, and mouse was not very nice, but it worked. Until I figured out how to run Wine (see my post in Tutorials) and abandoned the whole VM idea.
