Under Mac OS X, partitions are available as /dev/diskXsY and not /dev/ 
hdXsY. Your boot partition /dev/disk0sY, other disks can get a  
different number after every reboot.

You can find the device name of a partition (under Mac OS X 10.4.x at  
least) by opening /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility, selecting a  
partition and choosing File->Get Info.

Just from my experienc with using CD-ROM under OS X:

say You want partition 1 of disk 5

You dont need the: /dev/disk5s1
But: /dev/rdisk5s1 wich is a raw access

Re: [Qemu-devel] qemu for macosx can't boot linux partition

[Enric Pedascoll Quingles]

i don't understand very well your answer, but i only want to run all
system (powerbookg4 with your all partitions) in a qemu session and
then i select in a yaboot menu "Linux Option" and work directli to
partition in snapshot file (or without them).

i try  with /dev/rdisk0 and /dev/rdisk0s1..s2.. and the same
result...qemu do nothing

thanks
