[Qemu-devel] [Bug 808737] Re: No option to load additional binary files from command line in QEMU

[Anup Patel]

I understand that we should not change -kernel option for backwards
compatibility, that's why I suggest some new option for loading
arbitrary binary file (not necessarily ELF file). This option would just
mean: "Just blindly load the given file to the given physical address".
We can also pass this options multiple times in command line to load
different files.

I don't know if such an option would create problems in any other part
of QEMU. Is it possible to have such an option in QEMU ?

This problem has been bugging me since a year now so, it will be a great
help if we can have it.

Thanks,
--Anup
