Using Shinobar's Qemu sfs, (from this thread), this works for me:
Where -L sets the path to qemu's bios.bin, -m sets RAM size, and, of course, replace xxx.iso with the real iso's name.
Code: Select all
qemu -L /usr/share/qemu -m 256 -cdrom xxx.iso

My Plan is that grub.cfg Mods can be Tested Quicker in a VM than a Real Host, Thanx
