   Challenges and Limitations

   Add the following line to the end of the file to fix potential booting issues: smc.version = "0" Depending on the host CPU, you may need to add: cpuid.0.eax = "0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:1011" cpuid.0.ebx = "0111:0101:0110:1110:0110:0101:0100:0111" cpuid.0.ecx = "0110:1100:0110:0101:0111:0100:0110:1110" cpuid.0.edx = "0100:1001:0110:0101:0110:1110:0110:1001" 6.
