Debian Squeeze and Wheezy mips images for QEMU
==============================================

This directory contains Debian Squeeze and Wheezy mips images for QEMU and
the corresponding kernels and initrds:
  1d58f831f5e5064753c0c138d8d74057  debian_squeeze_mips_standard.qcow2
  cb56139b63b88fdb38776051d28bb750  vmlinux-2.6.32-5-4kc-malta
  7165e80b0e5c5c3e40f2ca46401373ce  vmlinux-2.6.32-5-5kc-malta
  bf699f435160b0bd9ac62905fa64701e  debian_wheezy_mips_standard.qcow2
  1fecbe19ff49a6fd715901483b23647c  vmlinux-3.2.0-4-4kc-malta
  19e6e853d4a7a7b9ed5e787b7f875835  vmlinux-3.2.0-4-5kc-malta

Both images are 25GiB images in QCOW2 format on which a Debian Squeeze or
Wheezy "Standard system" installation has been performed. The other
installation options are the following:
  - Keyboard:       US
  - Locale:         en_US
  - Mirror:         ftp.debian.org
  - Hostname:       debian-mips
  - Root password:  root
  - User account:   user
  - User password:  user

To use this image, you need to install QEMU 1.1.0 (or later). Start QEMU
with the following arguments for a 32-bit machine:
  - qemu-system-mips -M malta -kernel vmlinux-2.6.32-5-4kc-malta -hda debian_squeeze_mips_standard.qcow2 -append "root=/dev/sda1 console=tty0"
  - qemu-system-mips -M malta -kernel vmlinux-3.2.0-4-4kc-malta -hda debian_wheezy_mips_standard.qcow2 -append "root=/dev/sda1 console=tty0"

Start QEMU with the following arguments for a 64-bit machine:
  - qemu-system-mips64 -M malta -kernel vmlinux-2.6.32-5-5kc-malta -hda debian_squeeze_mips_standard.qcow2 -append "root=/dev/sda1 console=tty0"
  - qemu-system-mips64 -M malta -kernel vmlinux-3.2.0-4-5kc-malta -hda debian_wheezy_mips_standard.qcow2 -append "root=/dev/sda1 console=tty0"

By default QEMU emulates a machine with 128MiB of RAM. You can use the -m option
to increase or decrease the size of the RAM. It is however limited to 256MiB
with a 32-bit kernel. With a 64-bit kernel and QEMU >= 1.7, it is possible to
use up to 2047MiB of RAM, passing the memory map to the kernel, adding a mem=
argument to the append parameters as follow: "mem=256m@0x0 mem=XXXm@0x90000000"
where XXX represents the total memory size minus 256MiB. If you don't want to
start QEMU in graphic mode, you can use the -nographic option. The image is
configured to display a login prompt on the first serial port (ttys0). If you
want to switch the boot messages to the serial port, you need to replace
"console=tty0" by "console=ttyS0".
