boot from raw image file without vmdk?
Posted: 30. Jan 2012, 08:15
How can I boot from a raw image file without reformatting or creating a vmdk image?
Just as an example, I would like to insert a USB stick and boot it in Virtualbox. Using kvm this is no problem, e.g.
kvm -m 1024 -drive file=/dev/sdg,if=virtio,boot=on -net nic -net tap -vnc :1 -usbdevice tablet
This is a must-have feature in my virtualization environment. Any helpful comment would be highly appreciated.
