 - Locate the _Windows_ path to the SerenityOS disk image, as native QEMU will be accessing it via the Windows filesystem. If your build tree is located in the WSL2 partition, this will be accessible under the `\\wsl$` network file share (see [notes below](#note-on-filesystems)).
 
+- Set the `SERENITY_KERNEL_CMDLINE` environment variable to disable VirtIO support (Because it is currently broken on native windows QEMU):
