| Hi all, | | Has anyone gotten qemu to install a Linux vm on OpenBSD5.5, 64bit? Hi Steve, There's a readme that is installed when you install the qemu package, you should check that out. I had opensuse running a while ago (lots of the other linux distributions would not work). What I did was: After creating .img file: $ ulimit -d 2000000 $ qemu -m 1300 -no-acpi -monitor stdio -no-fd-bootchk -hda virtual.img -cdrom openSUSE-11.4-GNOME-LiveCD-i686.iso -boot d Then when you get to the installer screen, select f4[kernel version]>safe mode; F3[graphics]>vesa Once installed and virtual disk compressed, normal booting works with: $ qemu -m 1300 -no-acpi -no-fd-bootchk -hda virtual.img then selecting failsafe mode to boot into a console (no x11) desktop. If you want a graphical desktop environment, choose failsafe mode and then delete "nomodeset x11 failsafe" from the boot arguments. This would need to be adjusted for newer qemu, command line options I used recently with pcbsd were: $ qemu-system-x86_64 -m 256 -cdrom PCBSD10.0.2-RELEASE-06-20-2014-x64-DVD-USB.iso pcbsd-qemu.img launch: $ qemu-system-x86_64 -m 1200 -display gtk -vga std -sdl -hda pcbsd-qemu.img Brett. PS whatever you run it will be slow.
