Use "eject imageX" when you are done (I'm not > sure if this is stricly necessary but it doesn't hurt). eject isn't mandatory. Note that the syntax is "eject fda", not "eject image". This is also useful for CDROMs. > For qemu-0.5.2, you'll have to use this old trick (from bochs): > > You have 4 floppy images: [...] > type this: > > cp fd1 qfloppy > > run qemu as such: > > qemu -fda qfloppy [rest of qemu parameters here] > > when you are done with the first floppy, change via: > > cp fd2 qfloppy This won't work as qemu doesn't release the first image until "eject" or "change" command is used. So the first image will still be used after you did overwrite it. Regards. -- J. Mayer Never organized
