how to boot debian by linuxboot in qemu

[sparknack]

I use this command :

qemu-system-x86_64 \
    -M q35 \
    -bios linuxboot.rom \
    -m 1024 \
    -global ICH9-LPC.disable_s3=1 \
    -hda debian.qcow2 \
stty sane

But I receive this error as below:

mount: mounting /dev/sda1 on /boot failed: No such file or directory
!!!!! Unable to mount /boot
!!!!! Starting recovery shell

Hi, I've also met this problem, it has confused me for several days. Have you solved it, and could you share some experience? Thanks a lot!

No block device is currently passed to qemu instance. Some loop device needs to be prepared first on host system.

You can play around my past attempts and hacks you can find here. Still waiting for a QEMU guru to show the way.

@ReLIFE9527 @sparknack : I think this is a duplicate of what just got covered here more in details. Please review linked issues and ask questions directly in those issues. Don't hesitate to propose PR for the qemu-coreboot-* boards to be bonified with your use cases.

Same applies to qemu-linuxboot
