Using Qemu for creating bootable usb when wireless is needed
Using Qemu for creating bootable usb when wireless is needed.
If your machine has a wireless driver that has to be built, you can attach a usb key to your machine and make it into a functioning system. Code:
# chmod 777 /dev/daX Code:
$ qemu-system-i386 -cdrom /path/to/iso/or/device -hda /dev/dX -boot d What is it good for and what equipment can be used? A spare portable drive and older computers. I have not had much progress trying powerpc builds on i386. Last edited by Ninguem; 26th January 2013 at 12:24 AM. |

Be sure to do the following before running Qemu.
Code:
# chmod 777 /path/to/usb If you have an older system such as I do and are using kqemu: Code:
# kldload aio && kldload kqemu |
|

If this is done on a Linux system:
1. Replace daX with sdX. 2. If you are going to use the kqemu kernel module, be sure to build it first. This tutorial is based on using FreeBSD as the host. The added information is here because this forum deals with the BSD systems along with mentioning other systems. |
