-boot order=dc

Post by rwelch » Mon Oct 15, 2018 2:44 pm

EVE NG Team,

After successful use of the cdrom.iso for booting and installing software, should a reboot boot off of the virtual disk? Or, does the cdrom.iso file have to be removed from the /opt/unetlab/addons/qemu/<option> folder? Or, should the boot order be changed?

Regards,
-RW

Very simple, no need even document :)
on node qemu line
right click on node and set order as you need
dc or cd

or simply delete cdrom.iso from qemu folder, then your node will boot from hdd c

Thank you. I mis-interpreted C and D to mean:

C= CD ROM
D= Disk

Not at
C = Disk
D = CD ROM
