Tap Network Setup:
1. Setup tap* networking in rc.conf:
cloned_interfaces="bridge0 tap0 tap1"
ifconfig_bridge0="adm rl10 addm tap0 addm tap1"
ifconfig_tap0="up"
ifconfig_tap0="up"
2. modify /etc/sysctl.conf
net.link.tap.up_on_open=1
net.link.tap.user_open=1
3. create a tap group in /etc/group and add the users who can access
the /dev/tap* to the tap group.
4. add entry to /etc/devfs.conf for tap*
# /dev/tap*
perm tap0 0660
own tap0 root:tap
perm tap1 0660
own tap1 root:tap
5. reboot system
Installing Windows XP on QEMU:
1. Create disk image:
qemu-img create -f raw Windows_XP.img 8G
2. start qemu to install Windows XP:
Place the Windows XP CD into the cdrom drive, and execute qemu:
qemu -name windows_xp -localtime -m 512 -net
nic,macaddr=52:54:DE:AD:BE:EF,model=rtl8139 -net
tap,ifname=tap0,script=no -hda Windows_XP.img -cdrom /dev/acd0 -boot d
NOTE:
1. /dev/acd0 can be replaced with path to a cdrom iso image
2. to use user mode networking just drop -net tap* and/or -net nic*.
I use this script to start the qemu Windows XP guest.
#!/bin/sh
QEMU="qemu -kernel-kqemu"
NAME="-name windows_xp"
MEMORY="-m 512"
# BOOT="-boot d"
CDROM="-cdrom ../iso/WINXP_CD.iso"
# qemu: Supported ISA NICs: ne2k_isa
# qemu: Supported PCI NICs: i82551 i82557b i82559er ne2k_pci pcnet rtl8139
NETWORK="-net nic,macaddr=52:54:DE:AD:BE:EF,model=rtl8139 -net
tap,ifname=tap0,script=no"
HDA="-hda Windows_XP.img"
#HDB="-hdb Windows_XP_SP.img"
# the usb tablet device allows the mouse to move easily between X and qemu guest
# NOTE: I haven't been able to get it to grab the mouse input since using
# svn revison 6367 through 6391. Instead input is redirected to the PS/2 Mouse.
#USB="-usb -usbdevice tablet"
