It's been a while, but this is the startup script I'm using:

The hard drive images are literally a qemu image for linux kvm that's been qemu-img converted to a raw format, then the kernel and initrd were extracted, and stored in the mac file system. This image was originally on my linux box for a while, before I needed to go mobile on the laptop with it.

the xhyve repo came with a small Linux setup

time (git clone github.com/mist64/xhyve.git; cd xhyve; make; ./xhyverun.sh) w/ "sudo halt" pasted into the resulting shell: 14.85s
