Thanks for your help again. Embarrassingly though, still no cigar here: qemu-system-i386: -device virtio-blk-pci,drive: Property 'virtio-blk-device.drive' can't find value 'on' This keeping exactly the same command line as above, but replacing virtio-blk-device with virtio-blk-pci. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dive into the World of Parallel Programming The Go Parallel Website, sponsored by Intel and developed in partnership with Slashdot Media, is your hub for all things parallel software development, from weekly thought leadership blogs to news, videos, case studies, tutorials and more.
