Subject: [Qemu-devel] [RFC] Allow trying to boot from multiple devices
Date: Wed, 09 Aug 2006 16:04:46 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1155153886.22203.11.camel@aglarond.local> (raw)
The bochs rombios has supported attempting to boot from more than one
device for a while. It seems like it would make sense to be able to
specify "-boot acd" as an argument for qemu to try booting first from
the floppy, then the cd and finally the hard drive to make things more
like a "real" machine. Does this seem reasonable?
If there's interest in this, I can clean up the patch I've started[1]
and send it on.
Jeremy
[1] The patch is against the pseudo-fork of qemu being used in Xen so I
need to do some rediffing as well as update the non-PC machine
initialization for the change
