-
- 2. Starting a program
-
- There are two ways to start a program.
-
- 2.1 Using a batch file
-
- A file "qemu-win.bat" starts QEMU. Double click boots Linux on your desktop.
-
- When you use Command Prompt(MS-DOS Prompt), type
-
- qemu.exe -L . -hda linux.img
-
- An option "-hda" set hard disk image and an option "-L" set bios location.
-
- When a mouse cursor is missing, type Ctrl and Alt key together. Please use Alt
- and Tab on WindowsMe.
-
- To exit from Linux, press Ctrl-Alt-2 keys together then you will see (qemu) prompt.
- Then type quit.
-
- (qemu) quit
-
- 2.2 Using a shortcut
-
- Create a new shortcut of qemu.exe. Right click on the shortcut, append appropriate
- options like "C:\...\qemu.exe" -L . -hda linux.img at link to text field.
- Double click the shortcut.
-
- 3. Test
-
- There is a benchmark in linux.img. When Linux boots, type
-
- sh-2.05b# cd nbench
- sh-2.05b# ./nbench
-
- INTEGER INDEX and FLOATING-POINT INDEX are index to Pentium 90MHz.
-
- 4. x86_64 emulation
-
- A file "qemu-x86_64.bat" also boots linux on your desktop. It boots 32 bit and
- 64 bit OS.
-
- 5. Hard disk image
-
- A hard disk image file can be created by qemu-img.exe.
- To create a 10MB hard disk image file, type in command prompt:
-
- qemu-img.exe create harddisk.img 10M
-
- 6. Floppy and CD-ROM
-
- You can change a floppy and a CD-ROM image from QEMU Monitor.
- QEMU Monitor can be seen by pressing Ctrl, Alt, 2 key together.
- Pressing Ctrl, Alt, 1 key together returns to your guest OS.
-
- It needs to convert floppy and CD-ROM to image file to use it.
-
- For floppy, there are many converters. Please choose your favorite one.
-
- If you have CD-R writing software, you can use it. If you don't have it,
- you can use mkisofs command in cdrtools.
-
- To use them together, type:
-
- qemu.exe -L . -m 128 -boot a -fda floppy.img -hda harddisk.img -cdrom cdimage.iso
-
- -L : bios location
- -m : memory size (Mbyte)
- -boot : boot device floppy(a), hard disk(c), CD-ROM(d)
- -fda : floppy image
- -hda : hard disk image
- -cdrom : CD-ROM image
-
- When you want to change a floppy and CD-ROM image, type:
- (qemu) change fda filename.img
- or
- (qemu) change cdrom fdimage.iso
