Hey Alex, I have a patch I'm about to send to the mailing list. It allows an entire machine to be added by the -device argument on the command line. It is a similar implementation to my first version (vl.c: Allow sysbus devices to be attached via commandline), but much more generic. Could you point me to your patches so I can compare? At the moment I don't have much feedback to my implementation Thanks, Alistair
