Please use -m 64, it seems 32MB is no longer enough to run the amd64
installer.
That is fine with me.
32MB may still be ok for i386 but there are problems with the current
i386 snapshot ramdisk I have (the installer only lists kernels and x sets,
no base sets), I'm assuming this is a temporary build problem for now, but
anyway it means I can't test that properly. Maybe just use -m 64 for both
for consistency.
I will change it to 64 for i386 as well. It is only an example anyway
so users can use whatever they want if they choose to use a different
value. I am also going to bump the sparc examples as 32MB isn't a
whole lot of memory.
NOTE: start this inside an xterm or equivalent.
Alternatively you can swap "-monitor stdio" for "-monitor none -display
curses" and avoid A) the need for X and B) the risk of getting stuck
with the keyboard grabbed and unable to exit without switching to a text
VT and killing qemu. Downside of this is that a standard xterm is 80x24
and PC screen is 80x25 so you have to resize or lose a line - not sure
which is better.
Seeing as I haven't used any of these examples to date and don't
really have an opinion regarding this change. Todd, what do you
think about this change?
5. Boot normally from the virtual disk:
- $ qemu-system-i386 -m 32 -nographic -no-fd-bootchk -hda virtual.img
+ $ qemu-system-i386 -m 32 -daemonize -display none -vga none -no-fd-bootchk
\
+ -hda virtual.img
This is not supposed to -daemonize - intent here is to display serial on
stdout (this matches the "NOTE: be sure to choose serial console during
install.") - the existing command line works perfectly for that, no
change is necessary.
That was not intended. I was copying and pasting around the -display
none -vga none bits but it looks like I copied -daemonize while I was
at it.
sh -c "sudo -u $USER \
${TRUEPREFIX}/bin/qemu-system-i386 \
-daemonize \
- -nographic \
+ -daemonize -display none -vga none \
-net nic,vlan=0,macaddr=52:54:00:4e:62:8f \
-net tap,vlan=0,fd=3 \
-m 128 \
This is the one that needs changing. Also on the lines below this the
default tcp port to connect serial i/o to is 1080 which is in common use
for socks so I have adjusted that in the possible diff below.
Ya, good idea to move that away from 1080.
