[Qemu-devel] [small help] dd, mbr, fdisk

[Sebastien Bechet]

where myhdsize is your harddisk size in Mo :

HDS = myhdsize / 512
$ dd if=/dev/zero of=virtualhardisk.hd bs=2048 count=HDS
$ install-mbr virtualhardisk.hd # apt-get install mbr ...
$ cfdisk virtualhardisk.hd

[Do what you want with your hard disk & qemu ...]

Then you can use (for your "hda1") :
losetup -o 32256 /dev/loop0 virtualhardisk.hd
mount /dev/loop0 /mnt/temp
[...]
umount /mnt/temp
losetup -d /dev/loop0

Bye.
