I'd like to install ubuntu for Power PC under qemu, which is one CD plus network access so it seems pretty straightforward:
dd if=/dev/zero of=kubuntu-ppc.img bs=1M count=4096 qemu-system-ppc -hda kubuntu-ppc.img -cdrom kubuntu-5.10-install-powerpc.iso \ -boot d But I can't get it to boot from the iso. I can get the run-from-cd one to boot from the iso (if I feed it no hard drive), but I can't get the install one to boot. I'm not really up to speed on what the ppc firmware is doing, perhaps I should be bugging those guys? (Under 0.8.0 I couldn't get -kernel to work on ppc either, the firmware would ignore it and try to boot from the hard drive image anyway. Haven't tried under 0.8.1 yet...) Anybody here done this before? Rob P.S. I'm also installing ubuntu for x86-64 with approximately the above commands, which used to segfault qemu under 0.8.0 but 0.8.1 seems to be chugging along so far... -- Never bet against the cheap plastic solution. _______________________________________________ Qemu-devel mailing list Qemu-devel@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/qemu-devel
