Hi!
Yesterday I learned that FreeBSD 7.0-BETA2 guests will no longer
read from the emulated cd drive, apparently because of this commit:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/dev/ata/atapi-cd.c.diff?r1=1.193;r2=1.193.2.1
The following patch file added to the qemu-devel port fixes the issue
for me, is it also correct? (making the guest see a dvd in the drive
when it is inserted, previously it saw the drive as empty.)
The second hunk is already in qemu cvs so remove it if you want to
test on that. ISO used for testing:
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org:/pub/FreeBSD/ISO-IMAGES-i386/7.0/7.0-BETA2-i386-disc1.iso
(test by either selecting fixit->cdrom or by trying to install, just
booting it will always work because that goes thru the bios.)
