Hi I wanted to create a win7 HVM and was going to start off by making an iso from the CD I have but then I tried the simple dd if=/dev/cdrom of=~/win7_image.iso and I get an error: dd: failed to open '/dev/cdrom': No such file or directory I tried this from the term in the personal dom, but then opened up the term from the various doms (including dom0) to see if maybe the cdrom would show up then? (I am still wrapping my head around how Qubes works in terms of isolation, like would it perhaps isolate certain doms from seeing certain devices?) Thoughts?
Try /dev/sr0 instead (in dom0). You can also try assigning it to a vm with 'qvm-block -a -ro vmname dom0:sr0'
...but you have to put the disc in first and it doesn't always work. Chris -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
