Re: [Qemu-discuss] How to boot the ARM server ISO on QEMU?

[Ciro Santilli]

OK, I've pinged awesome Ubuntu people and they gave me the answer: I had to
use the cdrom through SCSI rather than the default virtio, because the
installer doesn't have the virtio drivers currently:

  -device virtio-scsi-device \
  -device scsi-cd,drive=cdrom \
  -drive "file=${iso},id=cdrom,if=none,media=cdrom" \

I've also discovered that the installer is just to slow to bear without KVM
:-)
