Hello,
I'm not sure if it is a good idea (or even possible) but I'm trying
to
run OpenBSD as guest in qmemu on a Soerkis and OpenBSD as host. A
Soekris has no graphic capabilities so I need to run qemu in
nographic
mode. I'm not able to do that until now. I ssh to the Soeris and
tried
several options:
you need qemu-old. they broke the newer one. in turn, the older one
is
broken in different ways (and much much faster, btw). don't we all
love quality software?
No luck :-/
Installed qemu-0.9.1p16
Apparently there is no -curses option.
lilium$ qemu -no-kqemu -nographic -serial stdio obsd.img
[this time no "could not open serial device 'stdio'" error, but no
further output. Is there any way to catch the output?]
lilium$ qemu -no-kqemu -nographic -serial telnet:localhost:1200,server
obsd.img
QEMU waiting for connection on: localhost:1200,server
[Sweet, it waits for me]
lilium$ telnet localhost 1200
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
[no input possible and no output in the telnet session. The shell where
I run qemu gives me the qemu monitor the moment I connect]
Anyway, where I want it for :-)
I want to run a public accessible Samba server. (for... fun) I don't
really trust it running on Soekris together with all the other services
and wanted to 'jail' it in some way. I read Samba is very hard (if
possible) to chroot, so I thought about running it in a qemu virtual
machine wich AFAIK, acts like a jail. (No, I don't have another
computer
available)
I would also love to use Virtualbox on OpenBSD, but I can imagine that
porting Vbox takes a lot of work.
Cheers,
