The VM does not have any data from your host system, so your existing
user accounts and home directories will not be available. You can
forward ports on the host to the guest. For instance, the following
will forward host port 2222 to guest port 22 (SSH):
<screen>
$ QEMU_NET_OPTS="hostfwd=tcp::2222-:22" ./result/bin/run-*-vm
</screen>
allowing you to log in via SSH (assuming you have set the appropriate
passwords or SSH authorized keys):
<screen>
$ ssh -p 2222 localhost
