[Qemu-devel] Changing cdroms while qemu is running

[Dave Feustel]

I have read all the qemu documentation that I have, but I still don't 
understand how to change the cdrom being read by qemu (running 
in graphics mode). I need to be able to do this to install a multi-cd 
version of Linux  (Scientific Linux - has 4 cdroms). Can someone post
the method for doing this?

Thanks,
Dave Feustel

Cancel this. I read the documentation again and figured it out.

Actually, I think you missed one doc.

I did a small patch to deal with this situation. But I didn't take the
time to make something smart. Furthermore it only works for Linux hosts.
