Passing info to QEMU bootForum: DSL Embedded Topic: Passing info to QEMU boot started by: dbickin Posted by dbickin on July 31 2006,18:15
I am booting DSL using QEMU from Windows XP. The way Windows is set up, DSL can not see the internet. By reading the forumns, etc, I can mount the a Window partition using Samba. But I need to pass it the IP address of the host machine, which is dynamic so it changes each time I boot up. What I want to do is pass the IP address to DSL so I can have a script read that value and change the IP address for the Samba script so I can automate connecting to the Windows drive. So is there a way for me to pass this info? I did try setting up a drive using the fat option on the qemu command line, but I can't get that to work. Using Samba is the only thing I have been able to get to work, but I have to manually plug in the IP each and every time. And help is appreciated Thanks, David |
