Re: [Qemu-devel] Problems with Zeta LiveCD

[Ulf Magnusson]

I noticed the official distribution already has the two tracks split into zetaboot.img and zetacd.img, so that's less work me :)

I ran

$ qemu -cdrom zetaboot.img -hda zetacd.img -boot d

and selected the hd from the boot menu. That led to a kernel panic (PANIC: boot device not found"). 

I then tried running without any hd, and instead changed the disk to
zetacd.img from the console when the prompt for the CD came up. That
way I got to the magnifying glass stage of the ZETA boot screen, but
there it panics with "PANIC: no shell!". Any ideas?

Thanks for your reply,
Ulf

Hi,

this behaviour is because of the way a BeOS/ZETA cd is constructed. For
some more infos take a look at the bottom of this page:

What you could do:
- Make a boot floppy out of track one of your demo-cd.
- Extract the second track as iso (be sure to take only the second track)
- In qEmu boot from your virtual floppy, press `space` to access the
bootmenu and select your virtual hd.
This way I get a complete ZETA installed in qEmu. But don´t expect to
much, as most hardware is currently not supported (the last time i tried)

Greetings,
Chris
