Yes. > You can adjust the disk interface that the virtual machine sees by > using the if= parameter of the -disk option rather than the -hda > option. http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.emulators.qemu/20760 has " -disk file[,if=type][,index=i][,bus=n][,unit=m][,media=d][,cyls=c,heads=h,secs=s[,trans=t]][snapshot=on|off] where: file is the disk image type is the interface type (ide, scsi, floppy, pflash, mtd, sd) i is the index of the disk on the interface (0, 1, 2, ...) n is the bus number of the given type m is the unit number on the the given bus d is the type of the media (disk, cdrom)" Rather than a disk image I aim for a real device. sudo qemu-system-i386 -boot a -fda /home/user/Oberon0.Dsk -disk /dev/sdd,if=ide,media=disk -vga std Is that plausable? Is the "media=disk" suboption necessary? Thanks, ...
