Re: [9front] First time 9front start with qemu

[Bengt Kleberg <bengt.kleberg@travelping.com>]

Thank you very much for your interest.

I will not show the failures that result in an error message that I
could understand. If those are also of interest (they will perhaps
allow for a few laughts?) I can include them, too.

All other, here following commands, inevitably open a new small black
window with a qemu prompt, or if I use,  -monitor stdio, small black
empty window. Nothing else happens.

Commands:

qemu-system-aarch64 -machine virt 9front-10277.arm64.qcow2

qemu-system-aarch64 -machine virt \
-device virtio-scsi-pci,id=scsi \
-drive if=none,id=vd0,file=9front-10277.arm64.qcow2 \
-device scsi-hd,drive=vd0

qemu-system-aarch64 -machine virt \
-device virtio-scsi-pci,id=scsi \
-drive if=none,id=vd0,file=9front-10277.arm64.qcow2 \
-device scsi-hd,drive=vd0 \
-net nic,model=virtio,macaddr=00:20:91:37:33:77 -net user

qemu-system-aarch64 -machine virt \
-device virtio-scsi-pci,id=scsi \
-drive if=none,id=vd0,file=9front-10277.arm64.qcow2 \
-device scsi-hd,drive=vd0 \
-net nic,model=virtio,macaddr=00:20:91:37:33:77 -net user \
-sdl

qemu-system-aarch64 -machine virt \

-drive if=none,id=vd0,file=9front-10277.arm64.qcow2 \
-device scsi-hd,drive=vd0 \
-net nic,model=virtio,macaddr=00:20:91:37:33:77 -net user \
-monitor stdio
