Hi

I am trying to run CoreOS (Container Linux) as a guest OS using KVM/QEMU. One of their suggestions is to pass config info into the VM using the "fw_cfg" option . When I try this I get the error "-fw_cfg invalid option". If I run the vm with the help option it does not list the fw_cfg option. However, according to the qemu documentation, see here <https://qemu.weilnetz.de/doc/qemu-doc.html#Debug_002fExpert-options>, they support this option.

The command used to run the vm is:

   /usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 -name CL-IGN-1 -m 1024 \
        -net nic,vlan=0,model=virtio \
        -net user,vlan=0,hostfwd=tcp::2222-:22,hostname=CL-IGN-1 \
        -drive if=virtio,file=./coreos_production_qemu_image.img \
        -fw_cfg name=opt/com.coreos/config,file=./CL-IGN-1.ignconfig

   qemu-system-x86_64: -fw_cfg: invalid option

I also tried using /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm but got the same error.

I am running::

   CentOS Linux release 7.3.1611 (Core)

   qemu-system-x86-2.0.0-1.el7.6.x86_64
   qemu-kvm-1.5.3-126.el7.x86_64


Thanks.
