[Qemu-devel] Hi ... & my first problems

[Torsten E.]

Good morning! :)

By pure chance I found this project, and was very interested.
So I downloaded some files yesterday, and wanted to give it a try today.

I'm running an Asus A7V8X Board, with an AMD 2200+ processor using W2k
SP4, and so I downloaded QemuInstall-0.6.0.exe plus some images.
After installing qemu, and unpacking those images as descibed on the
website, I wanted to start reactos - so I opened an command line, went
to qemu's directory, and typed-in:
qemu reactos-0.2.3.img
... it seems an window opend for a short part of a second, that's all.
Trying other images (freedos, netbsd, openbsd) gave the same result -
even with modified start parameters ...

Later on I upgraded to another qemu version (QemuInstall-20040730.exe &
QemuInstall-20040801.exe), but the results are the same: no image can be
started ...

Is there something wrong I'm doing?

Thanks in advance!

Try to add at least the path to the bios in the command:
when in qemu directory: qemu.exe -L . reactos-0.2.3.img

Ah ... THANKS!
Now it works fine - I simply did what the website
(http://www.freeoszoo.org/download.php) said:
[quote]
 Microsoft Windows: qemu.exe -hda guest_image_name.img -boot c -user-net
[/quote]
and Section 3.2 Quick Start (of the user guide):
[quote]
 Download and uncompress the linux image (`linux.img') and type
 qemu linux.img
[/quote]

Now it works fine ... :)

Have a nice day
