suitable starting place)... what I mean is I want to start with the
MBR (boot0) and go on from there... I only have one *REAL* machine to
work with which means I need to work with something like
emulators/virtualbox-ose... I also want to do as many automated tests
as possible (for example seeing if the installer copied the MBR [and
later other stuff] correctly to the virtual HDD).... for this reason I
have a few questions on vb (or perhaps QEMU if not possible in vb):
1. Can it be scripted?
for such usage i would recommend qemu. Virtualbox is for production use
with common OSes, and is very ineffective in batch usage and inflexible,
but fast. qemu is slow but you can have anything. including precise
definition of your virtual hardware
such (that way I can check the "physical" drive and not by indirect
query)?
just use "raw" format.
