Package: qemu Version: 0.8.2-5 Severity: normal
Hi, The Debian patch 05_non-fatal_if_linux_hd_missing included in the Qemu package removes the exit(1) present in the original code, which makes Qemu exit when no disk image has been specified while booting directly a Linux kernel. However, it is not really useful, since it crashes immediatly after: $ qemu -kernel /boot/vmlinuz A disk image must be given for 'hda' when booting a Linux kernel Segmentation fault (Booting with a disk image works correctly). Anyway, I don't understand why it is not possible to boot without a disk image. One could for example boot over nfsroot, for example.
