Guest Boot Order
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
QEMU can tell the guest which devices it should boot from, and in which order.
|
||||
This can be specified in the config via the `boot` property, e.g.:
|
||||
|
||||
----
|
||||
boot: order=scsi0;net0;hostpci0
|
||||
----
|
||||
|
||||
[thumbnail="screenshot/gui-qemu-edit-bootorder.png"]
|
||||
|
||||
This way, the guest would first attempt to boot from the disk `scsi0`, if that
|
||||
fails, it would go on to attempt network boot from `net0`, and in case that
|
||||
fails too, finally attempt to boot from a passed through PCIe device (seen as
|
||||
disk in case of NVMe, otherwise tries to launch into an option ROM).
|
||||
|
||||
On the GUI you can use a drag-and-drop editor to specify the boot order, and use
|
||||
the checkbox to enable or disable certain devices for booting altogether.
|
||||
|
||||
NOTE: If your guest uses multiple disks to boot the OS or load the bootloader,
|
||||
all of them must be marked as 'bootable' (that is, they must have the checkbox
|
||||
enabled or appear in the list in the config) for the guest to be able to boot.
|
||||
This is because recent SeaBIOS and OVMF versions only initialize disks if they
|
||||
are marked 'bootable'.
|
||||
|
||||
In any case, even devices not appearing in the list or having the checkmark
|
||||
disabled will still be available to the guest, once it's operating system has
|
||||
booted and initialized them. The 'bootable' flag only affects the guest BIOS and
|
||||
bootloader.
