qemu is an open-source x86 processor emulator that allows the execution of a virtual machine, which is an operating system within an operating system.
qemu is installed on all the ACLs in /usr/local/bin/qemu. For kernel work, a generic image based on Fedora Core 4 is available on the ACLs at /var/lib/systemimager/qemu/fc4.img. The sysadmins have prepared a local copy for each person in CS420, with the following mapping of ACL to user:
| username | ACL |
|---|---|
| charliep | codd |
| copelco | acl0 |
| brownda | acl1 |
| davidje | acl7 |
| ferraza | acl6 |
| hunteke | acl9 |
| lemanal | acl10 |
| kernco | acl4 |
| smithsh1 | acl3 |
| tmcnulty | acl2 |
| weissto | acl5 |
To boot the image, login to the ACL either directly or via ssh. cd to /p0/yourusername, and then run qemu -hda fc4.img. You might want to make a backup copy of fc4.img so you don't have to recopy it from image.
You will login as root. You can get the password from one of the sysadmins or Charlie.
