This is not a fatal error message. Only that it will run a tad slower
that is all. No big deal. It is still fast enough for most purposes.
Well, i did'nt mean to say that it was an error message. Just wanted to show
that I was not getting a prompt to type anything into. However the next mail
by Ashish answered my question.
Is there a way to start qemu such that i get a prompt to type in further
commands?
What do you mean?
Check the mail by Ashish or press Ctrl+Alt+2 after starting qemu
FreeBSD has nothing to do with linux. It is an OS and not a distro. I am
sorry for nitpicking. That wasn't the intention.
There is no concept of distro outside the linux world.
Yes sir, point noted. However, I knew that FreeBSD is a descendent of BSD
and a variant of Unix and has nothing to do with Linux.
If you want to really learn any OS you have to run on bare metal.
Virtualization makes things more complicated.
I don't want to learn Windows !!! I just need to run it (*on Linux* not on
bare metal).
You could try asking in mailing lists. Well there is no need to read all
the documentation. But you could at least read the relevant sections to
rectify your problems and march ahead.
Agreed, sometimes we get stuck and we get busy with other things. That
is the way things work unfortunately.
I have had situations where it has taken months to rectify something.
Even a year or so in rare cases.
I just wanted to know if people in this mailing list already knew the answer
and already have the experience so that I don't have to wait a year or join
another mailing list(s).
Why do you want to layer virtualbox over qemu?
I guess I just confused you. My only objective is to run another OS
specifically Windows and other stuff as well, whether qemu or virtualbox. I
prefer virtualbox for the speed as well as "ease" of use (at least for me).
However, as i said earlier I just messed up the installation.
Best of luck with linux.
I am sure Debian is the right choice.
It sure is!!! :-)
