You, sir, are awesome! I had searched through the qemu pages but not that one. It's still a bit buggy but it will serve my purposes quite well.
For those who want the dual boot and embedded system. This is what my dsl-windows.bat file looks like after much tweaking and testing:
| Code Sample |
REM Start qemu on windows.
@ECHO OFF
START qemu\qemu.exe -L qemu/ -no-kqemu -m 128 -soundhw sb16 -localtime -kernel linux24 -initrd minirt24.gz -hda
KNOPPIX/knoppix -hdb \\.\PhysicalDrive1 -append "qemu sb=0x220,5,1,5 frugal quiet modules=hdb noscsi nofirewire nousb
atapicd noideraid noacpi acpi=off noapm noagp ide1=noprobe ide2=noprobe nomce restore=hdb1"
CLS
EXIT
|
A note that the bug I mentioned is one for qemu and the host operating system. In this case, when DSL creates backup.tar.gz on the flashdrive, windows sees a file but the data is not linked to the file. Thus, the file is said to be corrupt and can't be opened or even loaded back into qemu. This problem is the reason I didn't just set hda to be the flashdrive itself. It needs to have the image and ramdisk "buffering" to prevent fatal errors. So the bug is that you can only backup/restore once in embedded mode per host OS reboot, but you can do it as much as you want in booted mode.
Now to get my network cards recognized in bootable mode and we'll be cooking with gas!
