[Qemu-devel] qemu booting FreeBSD image

[jmf]

I successfully downloaded and ran the netbsd image from freeoszoo.org so I 
decided to try making my own FreeBSD image.



I made a raw image of an entire hard disk. There is nothing on the disk but 
FreeBSD. I made the image, swapped hard disks, and booted linux to run the 
linux qemu program.



When I start qemu, the boot loader appears



$  qemu -hda myimage -m 256 -pci



Booting from Hard Disk...



F1 FreeBSD



Default: F1



I press enter,  or let the timer run out, and then qemu hangs indefinitely 
without booting the OS. Is there something wrong with the image, or do I need 
some special parameter?



I also tried 

$  qemu -hda myimage -m 256

$  qemu -hda myimage

$  qemu myimage



all with the same results
