OK, the problem here is I'm not able to mount the disk. Nothing I do
causes it to show up in /dev. I'm using
qemu-system-arm -M vexpress-a9 \
-cpu cortex-a9 \
-m 1024M \
-kernel /export/armmp/vmlinuz \
-initrd /export/armmp/initrd.gz \
-append "root=mmcblk0p1 console=ttyAMA0,115200" \
-dtb /export/armmp/vexpress-v2p-ca9.dtb \
-sd /export/armhf.qcow2 \
-monitor stdio
I've also tried
-drive if=none,file=armhf.qcow2,format=qcow2,id=hd \
-device virtio-blk-device,drive=hd \
As well as
-drive if=none,file=armhf.qcow2,format=raw,id=hd \
-device virtio-blk-device,drive=hd \
-drive if=none,file=armhf.qcow2,driver=qcow2,id=hd \
-device virtio-blk-device,drive=hd \
and
-drive if=sd,format=qcow2,file=/export/armhf.qcow2,id=hd \
-drive if=sd,format=raw,file=/export/armhf.qcow2,id=hd \
-drive if=sd,driver=qcow2,file=/export/armhf.qcow2,id=hd \
-drive if=sd,file=/export/armhf.qcow2,id=hd \
The virtual disk is formatted with the Debian default (p1 /boot, p2
root, p5 /swap). The mount works in wheezy using the -sd parameter above
and shows up as /dev/mmcblk0, but no luck in jessie.
Everything I've found on the internet indicates the -sd parameter should
be all I need, but it doesn't work. Any ideas here?
I really wish I understood more about how Debian and qemu work together!
Thanks,
Jerry
