[Aurora-sparc-user] running aurora in qemu on linux/x64-host?

[Christoph Rupp]

Hi,

i'm trying to run aurora as a qemu guest on linux/x64 host.

this is how i run qemu:

**qemu-system-sparc -hda test.img -boot d -cdrom 
AL-2.99-sparc-disc1.iso           

(test.img is an empty 2 GB image file).

aurora boots, the installer starts; it wants to check the installation 
media, but then i get a lot of messages:
ERROR: asr: reading /dev/sda[Input/output error]
ERROR: opening "/dev/sda" (this message is repeated a lot of times).

I can still select a keyboard, but then the installer once prints 
"ERROR: opening /dev/sda", and then it exits.

Is there a way how i can map my test.img file to /dev/sda? Or anything 
else i can do to get it running?

Thanks,
Chris
