[Qemu-devel] Qemu Booting a PC without an MBR?

[Peter Lieven]

Hi all,

today I had the second incidence of a migrated system (copied with DD) to qemu 
which won't
boot. (stuck after booting from harddisk message).

Looking at sector 0 I found out that it does not have an MBR. It seems that 
real hardware and
I was told also vmware can cope with this.

Is there a way we can improve this? (maybe be using an open source mbr in case 
the mbr
section is zeroed out?)

Thanks,
Peter
