d-i and qemu ?



Hi everybody,

I wanted to try d-i with qemu but it failed to detect the network card
(although I made sure that qemu had network support by using the -n
switch). Selecting the "ne" module by hand doesn't help either (I tried
several modules related to NE2K).

FYI, here's how I use qemu for d-i :

I created a big empty file for /dev/hda (hda.bin) and uses netinst bet4 image
as cdrom image. setup-net.sh just calls "ifup tun0" (which is defined in
/etc/network/interfaces).

The command line is the following :
qemu -m 128 -hda ~/debian-cd/test-d-i/hda.bin -cdrom ~/debian-cd/sarge-i386-netinst.iso -boot d -n ~/debian-cd/test-d-i/setup-net.sh

Anyone managed to install debian with d-i within qemu ?

Will I have more luck with bochs ? Did someone document how to use bochs
for testing d-i ?

Cheers,
