Hello all,

I'm new to QEMU and I'd like to know how to boot a Windows XP  
installation CDROM from MacOS X. Do I need to create an ISO image from  
my WXP CDROM or can I boot directly from it e.g. using "-cdrom  
/dev/<device>" ?

Which tools are needed to create an ISO image from a CDROM ?

TIA

yes if your host is linux, but if you use QEMU in win32 you use iso image.

Yes, "-cdrom /dev/cdrom*" should work. Be sure to also use "-boot d"

It seems that "/dev/cdrom" does not work on MacOS X. I also tried  
"/dev/rdisk{0|1}" and it doesn't work either.

Maybe.  The device name under OS X can be found by running disktool -l
from the command line.  then the dev entry will be /dev/disk# where # is
the number you found running disktool.

Probably the easiest is to use "disktool -l" to determine the device
name of the cd (which should be automounted).  then do:
dd if=/dev/disk# of=image.iso

Replace the disk# with the proper disk name from disktool's output.

Use Disk Utility (on Panther). Select the cdrom in the list and choose
Images -> New -> Image from <volume_name>. It will save as .dmg
Then qemu youdisk.dmg -cdrom file.dmg -boot d

If you have not done so, you need to create a blank dmg image as a hard drive
using Disk Uility. You will then partition it and format it. I guess that the
XP installation process wil take care of that for you, but if not, you may have
to boot from a floppy image in order to use fdisk (XP may not like the Apple
partition map). Just in case, with W95 at least, you must not forget to
Activate the partition with fdisk. Qemu will fail if you do not.

Rgds,

Lga.

Avoid using Win95 to partition and format. Win95 uses fat16 and is limitted in 
size to 2gb, not enough for XP, IMHO.Better to use at least Win98.

I tried that but I get a "CDROM boot failure code 004" in the BIOS boot  
sequence...

Maybe it can't work with "dmg" images.

Thanks anyway.

Actually, Win95 OSR2 supports FAT32. But I fdisked the image using 
Freedos anyway, as Win95 fdisk would not allow me to set a partition as 
Active except on the boot disk.

I made a image of a xp cd with the Disk Utility also.  When you make the image, you must make sure you not use the compressed format.

You can also have a look for disk names at the system profiler  
(apple>about this mac>More Information. Just click on hda register card  
and the names of your devices are shown under "BSD-Name:". In my case,  
ibook G3, harddisk is /dev/disk0 and cdrom /dev/disk1. Just tried it  
with Qemu and it works fine.

Guys I'm really sorry. I've just found out that this particular WXP  
installation CD I have isn't bootable... I had one bootable XP CD but  
it seems I lost it.

Is there any trick I could use to bootstrap the installer ?

You could make a bootable winxp cd out of your non-bootable one. A  
tutorial for doing this on a windows machine is available at  
http://old.bink.nu/xpbootcd/ . It can also be applied to os x just  
using toast or another program for burning. Have fun!

That sounds correct. I started using Qemu with a Win95 OEM install. Have since 
upgraded to Win98>Winxp. I was actually in the postion of that which I warned 
against. And I was in the process of restoring xp on a newly created fat32 
fs.
Interesting to note that preformance took a serious nose dive, xp ran about 
50% faster on my fat16 fs????
I was actually hoping for an increase, think I'll revert back to fat16 and 
deal with those problems.

Now that's interesting. I have a W95 at hand and I am currently trying 
to install a W98 EOM image.
Both are on FAT32, but my previous version of W95 (on FAT16) felt 
faster, maybe because of this? I'll try to run some benchmarks.

I tried "-cdrom /dev/disk1" with a FreeDOS image mounted on "C:" and  
the "dir" command fails on the "D:" unit (ISO9660 CD in the drive). The  
"dir" command also fails on "D:" when I mount an image with "-hdb  
<image>". The only way I can mount an image on "D:" is to use "-cdrom  
<image>".

Am I doing something wrong ?

Well, a CDROM image has a different file system from a hd image, so I 
am not surprised that -hdb and -cdrom are not interchangeable. And I am 
not sure that, right now, qemu is able to read physical devices instead 
of images. Actually maybe you should try to use Disk Utility to first 
unmount the device (while leaving it in the drive) and then try to 
access it. I don't think you can do it while OS X has it mounted.

No that creates an ISO image that you can burn to CDROM, not the other way
around.

/bin/dd is all you need for that :)

You might want mkisofs anyways, as that makes it easier to transfer files
to a non-networked guest.

start qemu with qemu -hda <filename>.img -cdrom /dev/cdrom -boot d

this is assuming that you have created a blank file disk image according 
to the manual in subsection 3.5

hope this helps DarR!N
