[Qemu-devel] -cdrom /dev/cdrom and could not open hard disk image

[Pavel Janík]

Hi,

the current CVS:

address@hidden:~> /tmp/QEMU/bin/qemu -cdrom /dev/cdrom
qemu: could not open hard disk image '/dev/cdrom'
address@hidden:~> 

Probably because:

open("/dev/cdrom", O_RDWR|O_LARGEFILE)  = -1 EROFS (Read-only file system)

I can read from CD-ROM:

address@hidden:~> head /dev/cdrom|wc -l
10

How to boot from read-only CD-ROM now? Why this doesn't work now?

That's the problem: pretesters aren't finding many more bugs nowadays,
so it'll probably take until 2005 to find and fix enough bugs that we
can comfortably announce the code stable.
