While at it, do you guys have a QEMU build tutorial as well? Just 
asking, as ReactOS 0.3.10 seems to be bundled with QEMU 0.9.0 while 
already QEMU 0.10.5 is out.
I don't know if ReactOS works with a more recent QEMU, didn't try yet. 
Win32/64 Binaries seem to be available at 
http://www.bttr-software.de/qemu/ for QEMU 0.10.5
(zlib1.dll required for some reason).

The issue is that Coreboot and SeaBIOS (www.coreboot.org) don't work 
under older QEMU, but work flawlessly under recent QEMU.
I finally tried QEMU rather than VMware due to the Coreboot bios 
replacement with enabled floppy emulation in flash, as was announced on 
Coreboot and FreeDOS mailinglists.
Benefit is 1) tiny OS in flash with possibly partitioning tools [kernel, 
shell, fdisk, format, sys], 2) testing if ReactOS is 
Coreboot/Seabios-proof as operating system under a opensource BIOS.

So far ReactOS dropped back to 4color in VMware if I remember correctly 
when replacing QEMU (0.10.5) 's  'bios.bin' by that of Coreboot
