How can I boot from a BSD or Linux "live cd" in qemu ?
qemu allows the user to set it's emulated "devices" to arbitrary files or real
devices so I tried to set the cdrom, or an iso image, to fda or hda but this
did not work:
$ qemu -hda /dev/cdrom
$ qemu -hda livecd.iso
$ qemu -fda /dev/cdrom
$ qemu -fda livecd.iso
all fail to boot. What I would like to do would be something like
$ qemu -boot_from_cdrom ./mylivecd.iso
or
$ qemu -boot_from_cdrom /dev/cdrom
If this is possible, how? If it is not possible, will this feature be added in
the future? "live cds" are so popular now, this would be very helpful.
