I'd use the qemu-img tool from Qemu 0.10.15 or one of the 0.11 rc's to convert the hard disk image into something either VMWare or VirtualPC can use, as their floppy emulation will work.

Anyways here is the command line that I’m currently using:

“qemu -L pc-bios -M isapc -hda xenix.disk -no-reboot -s
td-vga -k en-us”

This way when I ‘reboot’ it’ll just shutdown Qemu and I’ve had issues with the arrow keys under NeXTSTEP….

What version of qemu were you using ?

Xenix bootdisks can be downloaded from http://vetusware.com/ after registration(free).

If you have any legit claim to any version of Xenix and can prove it, I'm sure the news group people can find some disk images of what you need….
