qemu: Boot from image emulating i386 architecture.
$ qemu-system-i386 -hda ${image_name-img}
try on your machine
This command starts a QEMU virtual machine using the system architecture of i386 or x86(Intel) and specifies the disk image file to be used as the virtual machine's hard drive.
Here is a breakdown of the command:
qemu-system-i386
: This is the command to start the QEMU virtual machine, specifying the system architecture as i386 or x86 (Intel 32-bit).-hda
: This option tells QEMU to use the following file as the virtual machine's primary hard disk.${image_name-img}
: This is a placeholder for the actual disk image file name. It is enclosed in${}
to indicate it as a variable that needs to be substituted with the real file name. The file name typically has the.img
extension.
To use this command, you need to replace ${image_name-img}
with the actual disk image file name. For example, if your disk image file is named ubuntu.img
, the command would be qemu-system-i386 -hda ubuntu.img
.
