Without knowing what you've tried and what's happening with various
setups, it's hard to give precise information.  Try device=qemm386.sys
and forget the options.  What happens?  If all goes well, add /RAM
to the device line and see what gives.  Still good?  Then forget anything
else, and switch into your DV directory and type XDV.  But wait!  Are
you installing from the distribution disks?  Those files are compressed
and you need to run the installation procedure for qemm386.

How long did it take me to get up and running?  15 minutes or so.  Fine
tuning?  About six months, and still working at it, but much less now than
before.
