The relative > path is relative to the repository you cloned kvm-kmod.git _from_. Oh, excellent. Except that's a pain with qemu hosted on Savannah as I cannot create additional trees without creating new projects :-( I can't move qemu's git tree off of Savannah without leaving Savannah completely. >>> >>> Let's only include seabios then and reject all patches to the bochs >>> bios.

We can put seabios in the tree now (once we work out the rom building stuff). We can get started with testing now and then for the 0.12 tree, we'll switch to seabios by default if things don't look like they're going to be too painful. Regards, Anthony Liguori
