Re: [Qemu-discuss] drive with bus=1, unit=0 (index=2) exists

[Martin Braun]

Also if I do:

  $ qemu -drive file=debian-testing-amd64-netinst.iso,media=cdrom
-drive file=disk1.img,media=disk -drive file=disk2.img,media=disk
-drive file=disk3.img,media=disk -drive file=disk4.img,media=disk -m
2048

I get:

  qemu: too many IDE bus: 2

So it seems Qemu is limited to handling 4 devices in total?
