other OS that support multiboot format are netbsd and smartos (illumos). what's wrong with "Linux" ? You can use that with any pseudo-supported OSes I don't understand the question... So guessing. 'Linux' in this context is wrong as qemu-kvm --help itself uses 'Linux/Multiboot...' # /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm --help | sed -n '/^Linux/,/^$/p' Linux/Multiboot boot specific: -kernel bzImage use 'bzImage' as kernel image -append cmdline use 'cmdline' as kernel command line -initrd file use 'file' as initial ram disk -dtb file use 'file' as device tree image Google for multiboot format. Additional note: - make it available in non-linux based VM - change names to qemu-kvm style - thus 'kernel params' => append cmdline, as this could be something else: See below, append/kernel_params state real kernel which would mboot.c32 use: KERNEL mboot.c32 APPEND smartos/latest/platform/i86pc/kernel/amd64/unix -B smartos=true --- smartos/latest/platform/i86pc/amd64/boot_archive Hi Michal, (In reply to Michal Skrivanek from comment #2) > what's wrong with "Linux" ? You can use that with any pseudo-supported OSes it is not about "linux", but about that submenu missing in RunOnce dialog in case you have defined a Windows OS for the VM. If I understood the request correctly, we should enable the Linux Boot-Menu also for Windows (e.g. for booting some repair stuff, etc.) and therefore name it "Linux/Multiboot options". Personally I don't believe anyone running Windows VMs will ever use this commandline, but instead boot from the network (via PXE) and repair the installation (or doing the repair differently). Unless we have some real usecase for this, I would close wontfix. it is about that because that's what makes it shown in RunOnce. You can temporarily switch to "Linux" for any image really, it doesn't matter if it's windows or not. |
