I don't know where to post this, but I was playing with MorphOS in libvirt on Fedora and it actually works pretty well after a bunch of tinkering. I'll try to cover the reasons for things out of the ordinary.
Machine Choice and Domain:- I used mac99, because with it and the firmware from http://zero.eik.bme.hu/ was the only way I could get everything to work, including networking, shutdown, etc.
- Added "xmlns:qemu='http://libvirt.org/schemas/domain/qemu/1.0" in order to add qemu overrides and commands.
Video- Set the graphics to "bochs". Libvirt doesn't recognize "sm501" or "ati-vga".
- Set an alias so we can override the driver type.
- In the overrides change the card to "sm501" and remove the "vgamem", "bus", and "addr" settings for it, so it will function properly.
- I started with "ati-vga", but trying to drag and drop anything resulted in a freeze, so I switched to "sm501"
NIC:- Used "ne2k_pci" for the network because even though "sungem" and "rtl8139" would appear in the OS they would not pass traffic.
- Added an alias so I can remove the bus and address. Setting these seems to prevent it from working.
USB- Changed the USB controller to "pci-ohci"
- Added the mouse and keyboard with qemu args, other stuff added by libvirt prevented proper function.
Storage:- Added storage with qemu commandline args. Libvirt's settings prevented proper functioning.
Audio:- No solution for audio.
Installing:- Add the cdrom via qemu commandline args similar to how the hard drive is done.
Code:
<qemu:arg value='-cdrom'/>
<qemu:arg value='morphos-3.18.iso'/>
- In all cases (cdrom, firmware, and hda) you need to update values to use the full path.
- Update to boot from the boot.img file on the cdrom by changing:
Code:
<qemu:arg value='boot-device=hd:,\boot.img'/>
to
Code:
<qemu:arg value='boot-device=cd:,\mac_ppc32\boot.img'/>
- If using Fedora with selinux enabled you'll need to set the selinux context of the bios file to make libvirt happy.
Code:
chcon -t virt_content_t openbios-qemu.elf
- Create a disk file
Code:
qemu-img create -f qcow2 MorphOS.qcow2 8G
- Boot and install.
- Shutdown.
Remove the cdrom values and restore the boot-device setting.
