Subject: [Qemu-devel] Booting from CD Rom - finicky?
Date: Sun, 06 Jun 2004 18:41:30 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <40C3574A.2020901@silentsoftware.co.uk> (raw)

Hi all,

I've installed QEMU 5.5 on Mandrake 10.0 and Windows XP and although 
both recognise my CDRom drives after starting a client OS I can't get 
them to boot from auto starting CDs (i.e. Windows 98 install cd).

To start it under linux I use (windows98.img is an empty 2GB file):

qemu -boot d -cdrom /dev/cdrom  -hda /opt/qemu/windows98.img

I'm unsure of the parameters for windows so I've tried:

qemu.exe --boot d --cdrom "E:\" --hda "C:\windows98.img"

I've had no success :(

Any help greatly appreciated,

Benjamin
