Hello,
I am virtualizing a Windows 2000 machine (bit-by-bit copy of physical
machine).
It apparently works fine except for one strange thing: windows 2000
stops at the black screen (first step of boot) where it asks me if I
want to load Windows 2000 or previous operating system.
When the machine was physical there was a short timeout in that screen,
and then it would proceed with the default choice of windows 2000, but
in qemu it waits forever like if I pressed a key to interrupt the timeout.
Note that there is another bootloader *before* that one (it chainloads
the windows bootloader), and that one also has a timeout which can be
interrupted with a keypress, but that one does not show the problem,
i.e. goes ahead after its timeout without my need to press key.
That's a problem because I cannot really start the Windows VM from linux
scripting as it stops at boot. Sending a keypress to a VM
programmatically is not so easy methinks... or do you know how to do that?
This is with qemu-kvm 1.0
Thanks for any idea
