dump "type=ioemu", you don't need it. You SHOULD add a "mac=xxxxx"
part though. Otherwise weird things can happen (like windows keep
saying it's not activated no matter what you do)

you need "pae=1" as well

don't use "file:/". Use "tap:aio:/"

I'd usually dump "vncconsole=1". Better use "xm vncviewer" manually later.
