Minix 3/Minix 3 on Qemu

Run MINIX 3 on Linux QEMU
The step below was successfully tried with MINIX on QEMU and it was running under on Fedora Core 3 Linux mkdir minix cd minix wget http://download.minix3.org/iso/minix_R3.2.1-972156d.iso.bz2 bunzip2 minix_R3.2.1-972156d.iso.bz2 mkdir /mnt/isoimage mount -t iso9660 -o loop minix_R3.2.1-972156d.iso /mnt/isoimage The above steps downloads, extracts and mounts a minix iso image in the directory /mnt/isoimage wget http://web.archive.org/20060831115225/fabrice.bellard.free.fr/qemu/qemu-0.8.2-i386.tar.gz mkdir temp cd temp tar -xvzf ../qemu-0.8.2-i386.tar.gz mkdir -p /usr/local/share cp -r usr/local/share/qemu /usr/local/share/ cp -r usr/local/share/doc/qemu /usr/share/doc/ cp usr/local/share/man/man1/* /usr/share/man/man1/
 * Download the latest minix ISO and this can be found on minix3 website minix_R3.2.1-972156d.iso.bz2.
 * Create a directory called "minix" and stored everything inside that directory. So simple steps command lines to do the above and few things more:
 * The following steps downloads and installs QEMU:

Installing MINIX: Create a local image file: cd minix qemu-img create minix3.img 2048M qemu -boot a -fda /mnt/isoimage/bootflop.img -hda "minix3.img" -cdrom minix_R3.2.1-972156d.iso -m 64 -localtime
 * This completes your installation of QEMU.
