[Qemu-devel] PATCH: Adding options to generate SCSI based VMDK images

[Aaron Mason]

Hi all,

I tried this once before using command-line parameters and it was
knocked back.  Someone made the mention of using options so I had a
look and saw that it was really simple to do.

The following is a patch from the latest Git snapshot.  I have also
attached it (in case it gets broken by Gmail) and uploaded it to
http://milo.thats-too-much.info/qemu-vmdk_gen_scsi.patch (in case the
mailing list prohibits attachments).
