QEMU usage is beyond the scope of the OVS ML Charlie; having said that, you
have a few options to access the guest :)
Try adding one of the following options to your qemu command line:
-nographic # disable graphical output and redirect serial I/Os to
console
-vnc :display # start a VNC server on 'display'; access guest's
console using vncviewer
Hope this helps - Mark.
