+=== Setting Qemu Parameters ===
+
+The containers system has a more limited ability to set qemu parameters.  Right now a custom image can be loaded using the {{{containers::qemu_url}}} attribute and the architecture of the qemu VM can be chosen using {{{containers:qemu_arch}}}.  Valid qemu architectures are:
+
+|| __Param__ || __Meaning__ ||
+|| i386 || 32 bit Intel ||
+|| x86_64 || 64-bit Intel ||
+
+The image URL must be reachable from inside DETER.  The image must be a qcow2 image, optionally bzip2ed.  Facilities to snapshot and store such images are in development.
