A small followup. While no released version of qemu-kvm can flawlessly boot from a (emulated) usb drive directly (using -boot menu or automatic boot) -- this is because seabios as currently available in Debian (even -testing) does not have necessary support -- even 0.12 version in squeeze can boot from usb device using external boot rom method (extboot), like this:
kvm -usb \ -drive file=filename,if=none,id=b,boot=on \ -device usb-storage,drive=b (the key point is boot=on subparameter) But either way, booting from a usb1.1 device takes ages - base debian squeeze with only minimal set of software (login prompt and ssh with network support, no X) takes ~5 minutes to boot this way. /mjt -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
