Hi Aastha,
There are couple of methods to do this.
1. If you have root access to any linux machine where you can mount the disk
image, do the following
- use 'kpartx' to create loop back devices from your disk image
partitions. (if you dont have kpartx install it from your linux repo.)
$ sudo kpartx -a [your_disk_image]
- it creates loopback devices in /dev/mapper/loop*
- mount this loop-back device using 'mount'
$ sudo mount -o loop /dev/mapper/[your_loopback_device] /mnt
- Now you can access your disk image in /mnt to copy your applications
etc.
- To delete the loopback device
$ sudo kpartx -d [your_disk_image]
2. Second method is to use the network interface in qemu. Boot the qemu disk
image with 'ne2k' NIC emulation model. Use following runtime option for
that:
$ qemu/qemu-system-x86_64 -net nic,model=ne2k_pci [other default
options]
Note: Current disk image kernel has driver for 'ne2k_pci' device so we
have to use this device.
Once you boot up with network interface enabled, you should be able to
connect to any machine via SSH or download binaries from web page using
'wget'.
