REQUIREMENTS
PRE-INSTALL
POST-INSTALL
In order to use the QEMU Accelerator Module, first enable /dev/shm in
/etc/fstab. This is the area kqemu uses for the virtual machine RAM.
devfs users
-----------
To get the /dev/kqemu node, add the following lines to /etc/devfsd.conf:
LOOKUP ^kqemu$ EXECUTE /bin/mknod -m 0666 $devpath c 250 0
After this you need to load the kqemu kernel module either in
/etc/rc.modules or manually.
udev users
----------
When using udev, the device node is created automatically; add the
following to /etc/udev/rules.d/10-custom.rules to allow all users of group
'qemu' use kqemu:
KERNEL="kqemu", MODE="0660", GROUP="qemu"
Loading the kqemu kernel module is done like in devfs except you have to use
major=0 as a parameter for the module (i.e. "modprobe kqemu major=0"). This will
cause the major number to be assigned dynamically.
