 QEMU NOTES
 | 
						|
------------
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Since the qemu docs blow, I'll make some quick notes here for how to get a
 | 
						|
system running for baselayout testing.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- create rootfs (feel free to tweak 500M):
 | 
						|
	$ dd if=/dev/zero of=root.img bs=1M count=500M
 | 
						|
	$ mke2fs -F -j root.img
 | 
						|
- install Gentoo stage3:
 | 
						|
	$ mkdir loop
 | 
						|
	$ mount -o loop root.img loop
 | 
						|
	$ sudo tar pjxf stage3-x86.tar.bz2 -C loop
 | 
						|
	$ sudo chroot loop
 | 
						|
	<all you really need to configure is like /etc/fstab>
 | 
						|
		/dev/hda / ext3 noatime 0 1
 | 
						|
	$ umount loop
 | 
						|
- create an x86 kernel from a vanilla tarball:
 | 
						|
	- make sure you enable serial console support
 | 
						|
	- you shouldn't need any modifications, just grab a recent vanilla
 | 
						|
- run qemu:
 | 
						|
	$ qemu \
 | 
						|
		-hda root.img \
 | 
						|
		-append "root=/dev/hda console=ttyS0" \
 | 
						|
		-kernel your-compiled-vmlinux \
 | 
						|
		-nographic
