Hi Phil,

Thanks for the tip.  I tried out build 303 and got it working (and  
realized that I had been doing some steps wrong previously.)

Now I am trying build 385, and I can get through all the steps on

http://wiki.laptop.org/go/OS_images_for_emulation#QEMU_on_Mac_OS_X

with build 385.  However, when I set up the keyboard layout and the  
eth0 along the lines of

http://wiki.laptop.org/go/ 
Using_QEMU_on_Troubleshooting#Enabling_the_Network_Alternative_.231

with the following steps:

#echo loadkeys dvorak >> /etc/rc.local
#echo ifup eth0 >> /etc/rc.local
#. /etc/rc.local
# Ctrl-D

  the build 385 does not enter into the Sugar environment but rather  
gives me a localhost login prompt.  Build 303 enters the Sugar  
environment, and build 385 seems to want to: 385 has the login  
prompt, then a black screen, then it comes back to the login prompt  
with a new line saying something like "build olpc-385 ....." with  
this cycle repeating over and over.

Anybody have any hints as to what might be happening?

Cheers,

Julius
