Hi all
I am sorry if this if offtopic here, if it is, please point me to the correct
location. (did not find a qemu-users list or something).
I am writing a new installation for linux distro, and I would like to test it
on qemu before I do it on real HW.
I found some nice utilities to make a HD image from a a dir, and another one
for mounting the image on the host, however they are not enough. I need a way
to partition the HD image, and decide which partition will be (ext3 or swap
for example), and most importat: I need to install from the host a boot
loader on the HD image.
The last one is really tricky since last time I tried, lilo did not want to
use a file, but it insisted on a real device. I did not try grub yet.
As anyone tried such things? how can I do this?
