Okay, so I hacked together a driver which is able to read at least the
newest Knoppix image (from 3.6EN).
Only problem: When you start it with
qemu -hda /cdrom/KNOPPIX/KNOPPIX \
-kernel /cdrom/boot/isolinux/linux24 \
-initrd /cdrom/boot/isolinux/minirt24.gz \
-append root=/dev/hda
Knoppix believes it runs from the HD (installed version) and does not
recreate /etc/fstab, and then just stops.
Any Knoppix hackers out there? Maybe one can trick Knoppix into recreating
all these files nontheless?
Ciao,
