Subject: [Qemu-devel] Booting a partition image (not a disk image)?
Date: Sun, 13 Nov 2005 16:31:45 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <43776A71.9000307@hermes.cam.ac.uk> (raw)
Dear All,
I hope this isn't a stupid question, but I can't find the answer to it
anywhere. I have copied across the windows ME partition from an old
machine, using
dd if=/dev/hda2 | ssh me@newbox "cat > hda2.img"
This has worked, and I can mount the filesystem fine.
Is there any way I can boot this image using QEMU? i.e. there is no boot
sector, and I've not copied the rest of the drive to save space.
The obvious solution doesn't work:
qemu -boot c -snapshot -hda hda2.img
Thanks very much,
Richard
