The other options are similar to those of qemu(1).
DESCRIPTION
kvm
is based on qemu and its parameters are the same with the above
additions, please see the qemu(1) manpage for instructions on how to
run the program.
SETTING UP THE NETWORK
In Debian, kvm uses the configuration script
/etc/kvm/kvm-ifup
to initialize the network for the virtual machine on the host side
when starting a virtual machine. The default script sets up a virtual
switch, so the guest appears to be on the same subnet as the host,
which greatly simplifies setting up networking in the guest operating
system. For example, if the IP adress of the host is 192.168.1.1, the
guest could use 192.168.1.2, with a netmask of 255.255.255.0.
To learn more about setting up the network, please refer to the
following documents:
/etc/kvm/kvm-ifup, called at startup to configure the host-side network
/usr/share/kvm/, BIOS files are by default loaded from this directory
/usr/share/kvm/keymaps, keymap files
This manual page was written by Baruch Even <baruch@debian.org> and
Leonard Norrgard <vinsci@refactor.fi> for the Debian project (but may
be used by others).
