Subject: [PATCH] kvm: qemu: Allow booting from extboot drive with -kernel
Date: Tue, 29 Apr 2008 11:42:16 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1209465736-13617-1-git-send-email-markmc@redhat.com> (raw)
The -kernel option generates a new boot sector for
the boot drive which jumps directly to the supplied
kernel rather than running the standard bootloader.
Trivially fix generate_bootsect() to handle the
case where we're booting using extboot.
