A few minutes after sending this, I found, buried deep down in my google results, this non-documented option. :) Spent a good hour reading through mailing list archives, forums posts, and various websites before finding this. Anyone willing to update the man pages for qemu and/or kvm-qemu to document this option? :D -- Freddie Cash [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
