Subject: [PULL 1/2] qemu-doc: Remove paragraph about requiring a HD image with -kernel
Date: Tue, 22 Oct 2019 10:25:52 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20191022082553.10204-2-laurent@vivier.eu> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20191022082553.10204-1-laurent@vivier.eu>
From: Thomas Huth <thuth@redhat.com>

commit 57a46d057995 ("Convert linux bootrom to external rom and fw_cfg"),
almost 10 years ago, so let's remove this description from our documentation
now, too.
