I don't understand what the above means or what it will do. Also, I have done this as described here http://kidsquid.com/cgi-bin/moin.cgi/QuickStartGuide qemu-img create -f qcow c.img 3G qemu -cdrom /dev/cdrom -hda c.img -m 256 -boot d MS Windows installed, I exited and did this qemu -hda c.img -m 256 now I get this without the VM starting: QEMU PC emulator version 0.8.1, Copyright (c) 2003-2005 Fabrice Bellard usage: qemu [options] [disk_image] 'disk_image' is a raw hard image image for IDE hard disk 0 Standard options: -M machine select emulated machine (-M ? for list) -fda/-fdb file use 'file' as floppy disk 0/1 image -hda/-hdb file use 'file' as IDE hard disk 0/1 image -hdc/-hdd file use 'file' as IDE hard disk 2/3 image -cdrom file use 'file' as IDE cdrom image (cdrom is ide1 master) -boot [a|c|d] boot on floppy (a), hard disk (c) or CD-ROM (d) -snapshot write to temporary files instead of disk image files -m megs set virtual RAM size to megs MB [default=128] -smp n set the number of CPUs to 'n' [default=1] -nographic disable graphical output and redirect serial I/Os to console -k language use keyboard layout (for example "fr" for French) -audio-help print list of audio drivers and their options -soundhw c1,... enable audio support and only specified sound cards (comma separated list) use -soundhw ? to get the list of supported cards use -soundhw all to enable all of them -localtime set the real time clock to local time [default=utc] -full-screen start in full screen -win2k-hack use it when installing Windows 2000 to avoid a disk full bug -usb enable the USB driver (will be the default soon) -usbdevice name add the host or guest USB device 'name' Network options: -net nic[,vlan=n][,macaddr=addr][,model=type] create a new Network Interface Card and connect it to VLAN 'n' -net user[,vlan=n][,hostname=host] connect the user mode network stack to VLAN 'n' and send hostname 'host' to DHCP clients -net tap[,vlan=n][,fd=h][,ifname=name][,script=file] connect the host TAP network interface to VLAN 'n' and use the network script 'file' (default=/etc/qemu-ifup); use 'fd=h' to connect to an already opened TAP interface -net socket[,vlan=n][,fd=h][,listen=[host]:port][,connect=host:port] connect the vlan 'n' to another VLAN using a socket connection -net socket[,vlan=n][,fd=h][,mcast=maddr:port] connect the vlan 'n' to multicast maddr and port -net none use it alone to have zero network devices; if no -net option is provided, the default is '-net nic -net user' -tftp prefix allow tftp access to files starting with prefix [-net user] -smb dir allow SMB access to files in 'dir' [-net user] -redir [tcp|udp]:host-port:[guest-host]:guest-port redirect TCP or UDP connections from host to guest [-net user] Linux boot specific: -kernel bzImage use 'bzImage' as kernel image -append cmdline use 'cmdline' as kernel command line -initrd file use 'file' as initial ram disk Debug/Expert options: -monitor dev redirect the monitor to char device 'dev' -serial dev redirect the serial port to char device 'dev' -parallel dev redirect the parallel port to char device 'dev' -pidfile file Write PID to 'file' -S freeze CPU at startup (use 'c' to start execution) -s wait gdb connection to port 1234 -p port change gdb connection port -d item1,... output log to /tmp/qemu.log (use -d ? for a list of log items) -hdachs c,h,s[,t] force hard disk 0 physical geometry and the optional BIOS translation (t=none or lba) (usually qemu can guess them) -L path set the directory for the BIOS and VGA BIOS -no-kqemu disable KQEMU kernel module usage -std-vga simulate a standard VGA card with VESA Bochs Extensions (default is CL-GD5446 PCI VGA) -loadvm file start right away with a saved state (loadvm in monitor) -vnc display start a VNC server on display During emulation, the following keys are useful: ctrl-alt-f toggle full screen ctrl-alt-n switch to virtual console 'n' ctrl-alt toggle mouse and keyboard grab When using -nographic, press 'ctrl-a h' to get some help. so what is missing or what am I doing wrong? -- Jack Gates http://www.morningstarcom.net
