Re: [Xen-users] Boot HVM from Floppy

I'm testing VxWorks on Xen and to use something other than a floppy

so it would be nice if I could use a floppy image inside a HVM.

Hello,
I'm using fedora 7 with fedora 3.1 and I have no idea how to
include a floppy drive to a HVM and boot from there.
I tried it with:
fda = '/path/bootnet.img'
and
fda ='/dev/fd0'
I switched on the qemu monitor with monitor=1 and switched with
Control+Alt+2 to the
monitor window.
The floppy drive is listeted there, however there is no file
assigned to the drive.
I don't no know what is wrong with this assignment.
Can someone help me with this problem?
Best regards,
Andreas
Why would you want to? Why not use a CD image?
Interesting. Do you know how to build a new bootable CD image? It's a
bit of a pain in the ass, but it can be done. And why not install a
basic kernel first, then upgrade it in the new VM? That's certainly a
common approach for installing new operating systems with upgraded kernels.
