Public bug reported: For full customization of the default set of hardware qemu supports, a user can pass -nodefaults and then manually specify each device they want. Many specific options document what they translate to in terms of the full configuration model; however, the defaults for any given platform don't.
I'd love to have documentation of the default hardware configuration, in terms of qemu command-line options, to make it easy to run qemu -nodefaults, paste in the default command-line, and edit it. As this varies by emulated machine, perhaps qemu could have a command- line option to print a specific machine (e.g. pc-i440fx-2.5) in the form of qemu command-line options? ** Affects: qemu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of qemu- devel-ml, which is subscribed to QEMU. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1583421 Title: Please provide an option to print the default hardware configuration as command-line options, to make -nodefaults easier to use Status in QEMU: New Bug description: For full customization of the default set of hardware qemu supports, a user can pass -nodefaults and then manually specify each device they want.
