Hello all,
So I am trying to get a qemu guest to use a custom patched seabios image rather than the default /usr/share/qemu/bios.bin
I have tried changing the domain config file to include either:
<os> --SNIP-- <loader readonly='yes' type='rom'>/home/telemin/qemu/seabios_patched.bin</loader> </os>
This one is correct approach - what exactly failed when you tried this ?
domain type='kvm' xmlns:qemu='http://libvirt.org/schemas/domain/qemu/1.0' --SNIP-- <qemu:commandline> <qemu:arg value='-smbios'/> <qemu:arg value='file=/home/telemin/qemu/seabios_patched.bin'/> </qemu:commandline> --SNIP--
This is wrong '-smbios' is for setting up guest data tables, not for providing firmware images.
