17:50:21 < black_13> is it possible to test a usb boot image with
vmware/qemu ?
18:04:03 < panthera> black_13: no, it seems that qemu doesn't want to
boot them,
18:04:06 < panthera> but i don't know why
18:04:21 < panthera> they boot perfectly on a real system and in vmware,
but not in qemu.
18:04:33 < black_13> i am using vwmare
18:04:37 < panthera> black_13: if you want to test with qemu, just stick
with the iso images.
18:04:38 < black_13> but i though i would ask
18:05:07 < panthera> if you use vmware, create a new physical disk
pointing to the device of the usb stick
18:05:13 < panthera> e.g. /dev/sdb

I have been able to run the USB image on qemu. I downloaded
debian-live-sid-i386-xfce-desktop.img this morning and called it up on
my Qemu test bed and it booted up fine. I didn't use any cheatcodes to
improve performance and once it booted, I started Ice Weasel and was
able to bring up google, etc.
I haven't tried installing it on USB and then running it on Qemu. I
would think if you want to run on Qemu using the USB, it would work
better if just copied over instead of 'installing.'
HTH,
