Hi, I just tried out embedded today for the first time at the office.
I believe a a 60 mb 'harddisk' file was created in the qemu directory, which I guess is the virtual hdb ?

My question: Is it possible to access this file at home when I'm not using qemu, i.e normal frugal boot?

Yes.
You need to use the boot option
boot:  dsl qemu

This will give you a "device" /dev/harddisk

You can also use the boot options
boot:  dsl qemu restore=harddisk

This will allow you to share the same virtual drive between DSL Qemu and DSL native.
