DSL Embedded Notes:

1) dd of=harddisk2 bs=1024 seek=60000 count=0

This will create a virtual harddrive image of 60MB

2) It will need to be added as a drive.
So fire up vi on the dsl-linux.sh file. add an entry like '-hdd
qemu/harddisk2'
You will want to use hdd as opposed to hdc which is assigned as the cdrom

3) Then you will need to be in the dsl image
./dsl-linux.sh

4) In the Virtual Machine, the virtual drive will need to be fdisked,
sudo fdisk /dev/hdd

5) Also in the Virtual Machine, the virtual drive will need to have a
filesystem
sudo mke2fs /dev/hdd1

6) VM: create the mount point
sudo /mnt/hdd1

7) VM:Now you have a drive you can mount
sudo mount /dev/hdd1 /mnt/hdd1

You can now do things like add files onto the mount. I have the mount
command set in my /opt/bootlocal.sh file so that I can auto access
these files without the need to mount. In addition I set up symlinks to the
mount so that I can use the files on the mount without problems.

ln -s /mnt/hdd1/opt/program /opt/program

Add these links to your /home/dsl/filetools.lst and they will reappear
upon reboot if you have the mount command set in the /opt/bootlocal.sh
