+qemu on linux doesn't boot for winxp install via usb
+
+hi guys,
+I try to install windows xp via qemu. I can only boot from usb and somehow it is my problem.
+I run a Winxp/xubuntu10.04 Dualboot-system with some virtual drives in windows ( till letter f:? ).
+at qemu I created an image from 30Gigabytes and entered this command from the imagefile's directory :
+
+"sudo qemu-system-x86_64 -localtime -usbdevice -hda /dev/sdb -m 384 -boot d winxp.img"
+
+the answer is :
+
+"qemu-system-x86_64: -boot d: drive with bus=0, unit=0 (index=0) exists"
+
+I had to set the usb-stick in the fstab file with this command :
+
+"UUID=X	/media/usb	vfat	rw,users,noauto,umask=000	0	0"
+
+anybody experienced the same problem?
+
+I would appreciate any kind of help

+Why are you using "-boot d"?  'd' is the first CD-ROM and you have not
+given any -cdrom ISO image.

+hey stefan,
+
+I didn't find any manual for installing via usb,
+but I tried various letters till "g".
+what letter would you suggest?
+
+on my usb drive I have a linux bootable xp partition.
+or should I try to boot from a virtual drive via .iso image?
+
+thank you
