Introduction
------------
This configuration offers a cross-build of (a subset of) the build-bootstrap
package selection for the x86_64 architecture as emulated by qemu-system-x86_64.
It includes support for all the hardware emulated by qemu, a working udev,
kernel and userland support for TCP/IP networking, and more.
With qemu and the resulting build you can at least:
- boot the kernel and first stage initrd,
- execute a shell from the initrd,
- load the second stage from a CD-ROM,
- and install packages from the CD on a hard disk.
The packages included should be sufficient for native builds on the targeted
platform.
Quick Start
-----------
- Boot from CD with VGA text console:
qemu-system-x86_64 -cdrom bbs-x86_64-qemu_cd1.iso -hda /srv/qemu.hda \
-boot d
Hints And Known Bugs
--------------------
- To use the cdrom image in qemu, create it after the build has finished:
./scripts/Create-ISO bbs-x86_64-qemu bbs-x86_64-qemu
- To use a hard disk in qemu, create it with e.g.:
qemu-img create /srv/qemu.hda 2048M
