Apart from targets.rst, which was written by hand, this is an automated conversion obtained with the following command: makeinfo --force -o - --docbook \ -D 'qemu_system_x86 QEMU_SYSTEM_X86_MACRO' \ -D 'qemu_system QEMU_SYSTEM_MACRO' \ $texi | pandoc -f docbook -t rst+smart | perl -e ' $/=undef; $_ = <>; s/^- − /- /gm; s/QEMU_SYSTEM_MACRO/|qemu_system|/g; s/QEMU_SYSTEM_X86_MACRO/|qemu_system_x86|/g; s/(?=::\n\n +\|qemu)/.. parsed-literal/g; s/:\n\n::$/::/gm; print' > $rst In addition, the following changes were made manually: - target-i386.rst and target-mips.rst: replace CPU model documentation with an include directive - monitor.rst: replace the command section with a comment - images.rst: add toctree - target-arm.rst: Replace use of :math: (which Sphinx complains about) with :sup:, and hide it behind |I2C| and |I2C| substitutions. Content that is not @included remains exclusive to qemu-doc.texi.

Direct Linux Boot
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
This section explains how to launch a Linux kernel inside QEMU without
|
|
having to make a full bootable image. It is very useful for fast Linux
|
|
kernel testing.
|
|
|
|
The syntax is:
|
|
|
|
.. parsed-literal::
|
|
|
|
|qemu_system| -kernel bzImage -hda rootdisk.img -append "root=/dev/hda"
|
|
|
|
Use ``-kernel`` to provide the Linux kernel image and ``-append`` to
|
|
give the kernel command line arguments. The ``-initrd`` option can be
|
|
used to provide an INITRD image.
|
|
|
|
If you do not need graphical output, you can disable it and redirect the
|
|
virtual serial port and the QEMU monitor to the console with the
|
|
``-nographic`` option. The typical command line is:
|
|
|
|
.. parsed-literal::
|
|
|
|
|qemu_system| -kernel bzImage -hda rootdisk.img \
|
|
-append "root=/dev/hda console=ttyS0" -nographic
|
|
|
|
Use Ctrl-a c to switch between the serial console and the monitor (see
|
|
:ref:`pcsys_005fkeys`).
