I'm not sure if this will help any your questions... but... I was poking around today and I noticed that if you have a frugal install you DO have r/w access to the grub configuration files... I just mounted hda1 and /mnt/hda1/boot/grub/menu.lst(remember to use root console for this) and I was able to add all of my boot parameters here so I could avoid being tied to qemu.... in fact I added 4 different boot scenarios... Still tryin to figure out how to use "restore" to benefit me though.

to save my changes i do a cntrl-alt-2 , and at qemu prompt i type
savevm mydslname <-- save virtual machine state
loadvm mydslname <-- loads it

you can even modify your .bat file to auto load this saved state at each boot

What do you need to add to the .bat file to make qemu loadvm the virtual machine state you saved?

I DID IT
i've put the lodvm line right before the "-append.."
"
....qemu/harddisk -loadvm nem0 -append "qemu sb=0x220,5,1,1 frugal quiet"
"
it works..anyway I'm still a noob..maybe it will blow up your computer..so dont blame me - it was trial and error
