libsdl and qemu for linux

hello
my hd is actually partitioned according to this table
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options>
<dump> <pass>
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/hda4 / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1
/dev/hda3 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/hda2 /media/win vfat noauto,rw,user 1 0
/dev/hdc /media/cdrom0 iso9660 ro,user,noauto 0 0
/dev/sda1 /media/pen0 vfat noauto,user,async,rw 0 0

where /dev/hda2 is a WinXp partition and /dev/hda4
a Linux one. I'd like to boot XP in /dev/hda2 while running Debian
but the error is:
roberto:~# qemu -snapshot -boot c -hda /dev/hda2
...
warning: could not open /dev/net/tun: no virtual network emulation
Could not initialize SDL - exiting
roberto:~#

i've correctly installed libsdl1.2-dev and i do not understand the
problem with SDL. I am not interestend at all in network configuration
since i use net only under linux; my one aim is to use the XP in
/dev/hda2 without rebooting or installing a new Win in /dev/hda4...
is it possible?

any help is very appreciated!!
