since it's not actually _using_ it, but it does.)

Use "/dev/zero". (Several people have suggested that qemu should default
to /dev/zero when you give it a kernel but don't give it a hard drive, but

Hi,
I get this error, when I don't give qemu a 'hda':
A disk image must be given for 'hda' when booting a Linux kernel.
Why is that? Isn't it completely legal to start without a IDE drive? For
example with:
qemu \
-kernel linux-test/bzImage-2.6.18 \
-append "root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=172.20.
