This is my test script for qemu

#!/bin/sh

KERNEL=$1
IMAGE=$2
IP=192.168.1.42
GATEWAY=192.168.1.1 

cp $KERNEL /tmp/kernel.bin
cp $IMAGE /tmp/image.ext2.gz
gzip -d /tmp/image.ext2.gz

/usr/local/bin/qemu -kernel /tmp/kernel.bin -std-vga \
-append "root=/dev/hda rw mem=64M ip=${IP}::${GATEWAY}:255.255.255.0" \
-net nic,vlan=0 -net tap,vlan=0,ifname=tap0,script= \
-hda /tmp/image.ext2 

rm /tmp/image.ext2
rm /tmp/kernel.bin

---
call it like

./testqemu.sh tmp/deploy/images/bzImage-qemux86.bin tmp/deploy/images/bootstrap-image-qemux86-20070112211142.rootfs.ext2.gz
