Hi,
I want to be sure that windows guest will be installed correctly. So, I used the following option while trying to install Windows XP from an ISO file
-fda /home/mahmood/qemu-vm/virtio-win-0.1.102_amd64.vfd
With that I expect to install virtio, so that I can later use
-net user,smb=/home/mahmood -net nic,model=virtio
P.S: You said that -net is obsolete and I have to use -device and -netdev. Can you explain what is the equivalent of the previous command in the new version? I searched but actually I am not quite sure about that.
Regards,
Mahmood
