[Qemu-devel] How to run qemu (i386) without hda image?

[Neo Jia]

hi,

I notice that this would be a very newbie question. Hope you can point me out.

I am going to simulate i386 arch. But I cannot run it just with initrd
and vmlinuz just like running it for mips arch. It always complained
about missing the hda image file. When I applied the hda.img file, the
kernel will panic due to the file format (eg, ext3).

Acturallly, my goal is trying to use qemu to setup a kernel debugging envir.

Your help will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Neo
