Looks fine to me.

It'd be nice to change the line above to e.g.,

  qemu -M pc -m 214 -smp 1 -nographic -monitor pty		\
    -no-acpi -boot c -hda /dev/HostVG/QEMUGuest1		\
    -net nic,macaddr=00:11:22:33:44:55,vlan=0,model=virtio	\
    -net user,vlan=0 -serial none -parallel none -usb

When possible, I prefer not to hard-code program names like /usr/bin/qemu
in tests, because that lets the test work even when the tool in question
is installed somewhere else.

What if someone is using qemu they built themselves...
