Hi,

Le Tue, 13 Feb 2007 15:58:13 +0100,
"andrzej zaborowski" <balrog@zabor.org> a =E9crit :

> Subject: don't require a disk image for network boot

BTW, is there a reason why a disk image is required when using the
-kernel option ?

In the following case: -kernel vmlinuz -append "nfsroot=3Dblabla", we
could boot over the network, without the need for any disk image, but
Qemu wants to have a disk image. Is it mandatory ?

Thanks,

Thomas
