## QEMU 536 mini HOWTO


sudo apt-get install qemu    # install qemu if it does not exist 
sudo apt-get install debootstrap    # create a minimal debian 
 
# now create a debian image  400Mb
dd if=/dev/zero of=debian-img bs=1024 count=400000 
mkfs.ext3 -L debian debian-img      # approve the next question 
 
#mount it 
sudo mount debian-img /mnt 
 
# create a minimal debian system on image 
sudo debootstrap sid /mnt ftp://ftp.linux.org.tr/debian 
 
# edit /mnt/etc/shadow, delete the ⋆ in root entry like root::.... 
sudo umount /mnt 


#optional:
# you can create a compressed image (edit the following command -hda)
qemu-img convert -O qcow2 debian-img debian-img.qcow

 
# start qemu if 32 bit system, use qemu 
# replace XXX with the appropriate files under boot 
qemu-system-x86_64  -kernel /boot/vmlinuzXXX \ 
         -initrd /boot/initrd.imgXXX -hda debian-img -append root=/dev/sda
