I used one of those qemu launchers for windows, doesn't remember it's name now. I think the versíon of qemu was 0.7. gabi On 8/8/06, Anssi Porttikivi <porttikivi@gmail.com> wrote: > > Has anyone tried running Plan 9 on the Windows version of qemu (which > is in alpha)?

Any tips for making it work? I'm using qemu 0.8.2 with kqemu for Linux and everything works quiet fast: qemu -cdrom plan9.iso -boot d; So on Windows it is: qemu.exe -cdrom plan9.iso -boot d There is a qemu-win.bat in the distribution zip archive of the Qemu Windows version you can modify and copy for starting Plan 9 in it. Sincerely, Christoph ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread

Any tips for making it work? Version 0.7.2 works well. You can get it pre-built from the ReactOS Web site: http://www.reactos.org/xhtml/en/download.html If you already have the latest version, you can use qemu-img to generate a disk image to suit. I usually create an empty, compressed VMware disk image of 20GB that I copy each time I need a disk for some random OS for either VMware Player or QEMU, as they'll both use the same disk format, and empty it's just a few KB. To install: qemu -boot d -cdrom \path\to\plan9.iso -m 128 -L . plan9.vmdk -user-net (options are slightly different for version 8, feel free to tune the RAM, etc.) Venti will cause your disk image to grow to nearly actual size, so if your virtual disk image is smaller than your available space, I would recommend skipping a local venti. Also, if you plan on moving the image around, you can get an install in under 400MB pretty easily. To boot: qemu -boot c -m 128 -L . plan9.vmdk -user-net >From there, you'd want to read the standard QEMU guides on networking and maybe peruse the mailing list archives for insight on Plan 9 and NAT.
