Hi Adrian,

yesterday I tested as you suggest. In my linux system the microsd has
been detected as /dev/sda

So I did " qemu -boot c -hda /dev/sda " and it replied back
"could not open hard disk image /dev/sda"

The qemu I am using is version 0.9.0
Please help me to fix the problem so that I can boot GRUB from microsd.
thanks
