Re: [Qemu-devel] boot order=d bug?

[Carl Karsten <carl@personnelware.com>]

neat.  missed that.

except it doesn't work.

juser@gator:~/temp$ qemu-system-x86_64 -drive
file=boot.img,format=raw,bootindex=1
qemu-system-x86_64: -drive file=boot.img,format=raw,bootindex=1: Block
format 'raw' does not support the option 'bootindex'

juser@gator:~/temp$ qemu-system-x86_64 -drive
file=boot.img,bootindex=1WARNING: Image format was not specified for
'boot.img' and probing guessed raw.
         Automatically detecting the format is dangerous for raw images,
write operations on block 0 will be restricted.
         Specify the 'raw' format explicitly to remove the restrictions.
qemu-system-x86_64: -drive file=boot.img,bootindex=1: Block format 'raw'
does not support the option 'bootindex'


Is there a "yes you do --force" option ?
