Re: [Qemu-devel] QEMU, booting fedora-cor2.img image problem form XP

[André Braga]

Is the BIOS path set? It's the -L option. And it always causes this
kind of trouble. :)  Read the documentation for more info.

Also, the menu won't allow you to use a prebuild *hard drive* image it
seems, so for the time being you must use the command line manually.
