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.
Regards,
Daniel
