Using the FreeBSD 5.2.1 iso just throws qemu into some sort of infinite loop. Booting from floppies(boot.flp or mfsroot.flp) allows me to type at the bootloader prompt but the kernel fails to load due to an "input/output error" in the bootloader. I get the following in the qemu console FLOPPY ERROR: fd_seek: try to read 0 51 01 (max=1 1 50 12) FLOPPY ERROR: fd_seek: try to read 0 51 01 (max=1 1 50 12) FLOPPY ERROR: fd_seek: try to read 0 51 01 (max=1 1 50 12) FLOPPY ERROR: fd_seek: try to read 0 51 01 (max=1 1 50 12) FLOPPY ERROR: fd_seek: try to read 0 51 01 (max=1 1 50 12) Would be cool to install a couple of BSDs in qemu to play with. Eventually my goal is to install the BSDs on my hard drive through qemu..configure them , etc so then I can boot into a fully configured OS. I also have a copy of xp installed on my hd. I tried booting that, but xp stalls on loading agp.sys Cheers, Taras
