[Qemu-devel] slirp, darwin problems

[Joshua Kwan]

Hi all,

There are two problems I experienced here using qemu.

I tried qemu from Debian today which has slirp support compiled into it.
Here is how I invoked it:

qemu -user-net -hda darwin.bin -cdrom darwin-701.iso -m 128 -boot d

As you might have guessed, my intenet is to install Darwin for x86 as
qemu's guest OS.

First problem I encountered was that qemu would not boot the Darwin
kernel. It would stop at 

From path: "cdrom", Waiting on <dict ID="0"><key>IOProviderClass</key><string 
ID="1">IOMedia</string><key>Content Hint</key><string 
ID="2">CD_ROM_Mode_1</string></dict>
PCI Ver=0.00 BusCount=1 Features=[ ]

and hang right there.

So I decided to see if Debian would work as a guest OS. I got to DHCP
stage, and that worked: I was impressed. I could resolve hostnames
correctly, and the gateway was set to 10.0.2.2. However, when I tried to
retrieve anything, nothing worked...

My thinking is that qemu might be looking in the wrong place for a
gateway? My computer is behind a NAT, and has two network interfaces:
one for a local wired network, and a wireless network which allows me to
connect to my firewall and the Internet. My default gateway is set
correctly and I am able to use the Internet normally from my host.
However, qemu maybe doesn't see the default gateway being used or
something?

Any help would be appreciated, with either problem. Please CC me on
replies as I'm not subscribed to this list :)
