[Pkg-libvirt-maintainers] Bug#494592: Bug#494592: virtinst: Unable to boot on CDROM

[Daniel Dehennin]

Le 5458 Septembre 1993, Guido Günther a envoyé:
>> sudo /usr/bin/kvm -m 256 -smp 1 -name lenny -monitor stdio -boot d \

Ok, the virt-install lauch:
/usr/bin/kvm -S -M pc -m 256 -smp 1 -name lenny -monitor pty \
    -no-reboot -boot d -drive file=/dev/hati/lenny,if=ide,index=0 \
    -drive file=/home/dad/download/debian/debian-testing-amd64-netinst.iso,if=ide,media=cdrom,index=2,boot=on \
    -net nic,macaddr=00:16:3e:7d:e0:ee,vlan=0 -net tap,fd=10,script=,vlan=0,ifname=vnet0 \
    -serial pty -parallel none -usb -vnc 127.0.0.1:0

It seems that booting on cdrom does not works when using -drive to
declare cdrom :-/

Is it possible to forward the bug report to kvm or do I need to make another?

Regards.
