-Once you have built a vmm.img file (see SETUP.LINUX for how to set up
-and test the development environment needed to do this), you can do
-the following:
-
-- dd vmm.img to a floppy and boot from it
-- network boot from vmm.img using PXE
-- use mkisofs to build a bootable cdrom from vmm.img
-- boot from vmm.img using qemu or other emulator
-
-All but the last option (qemu) are very site-dependent.
-
-To boot from vmm.img using qemu, do the following:
-
-Make sure qemu is installed. You will need at least version 0.9.1 for
-the necessary support of AMD SVM virtualization extensions.
-
-If you would like to install qemu, a copy is in the repository:
-
-export DEVROOT=/path/to/your/vmm-tools
-
-untar $DEVROOT/utils/qemu-0.9.1.tar.gz and follow instructions for
-building and installing it. Notice that you can use the --prefix
-configure option to choose where to put it.
-
-Assuming it's installed:
-
-export QEMUROOT=/path/to/your/qemu-install
-
-You can then run your vmm.img thus:
-
-$QEMUROOT/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 -m 1024 -serial file:serial.out -fda vmm.img
-
-On running this, you should see the vmm boot in a window, accompanied
-by lots of debugging output being spit into the file serial.out.
-
-You can add other options to, for example, provide a boot cd, network
-cards, etc.
