-Once you have built a vmm.img file (see SETUP.WINDOWS 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 (linux)
-- network boot from vmm.img using PXE (linux)
-- use mkisofs to build a bootable cdrom from vmm.img (linux)
-- 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.
-Here is how to install it.
-
-export DEVROOT=/path/to/your/vmm-tools
-cd $DEVROOT/devtools
-unzip $DEVROOT/utils/Qemu-0.9.1-windows.zip
-export QEMU=$DEVROOT/devtools/Qemu-0.9.1-windows
-
-A subtle thing in using this windows port of qemu from a cygwin
-environment is that it uses the *windows* paths, not the cygwin paths.
-Sort of. This is a bit fuzzy.
-
-A simple trick is to copy your vmm.img and whatever else *to* $QEMU
-and then run a modified qemu.bat file from there. Note that it is important
-that the batch file run $QEMU/bin/qemu-system-x86_64. See below
-for a more complete example.
-
-You can also run qemu and generate the path in a somewhat convulted
-way. For example, if I develop in $DEVROOT/vmm-hack1/build, and
-$QEMU is as above, then, I can run as follows:
-
-$QEMU/bin/qemu-system-x86_64.exe -L ../../devtools/Qemu-0.9.1-windows/Bios -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.
