| + | == Windows Setup == | ||
| + | Create hard disk image: ''qemu-img create -f raw hd.img 4G'' | ||
| + | Boot setup CD in QEMU: ''qemu -hda hd.img -cdrom winxp.iso -boot d'' | ||
| + | |||
| + | Install as usual. Format as NTFS (quick) to save time, using the entire disk. | ||
| + | |||
| + | After the first reboot, allow booting from hard disk (do not press a key at the "Boot from CD" prompt). | ||
| + | |||
| + | First try at the graphical stage of setup got stuck at "Installing Devices" for at least an hour. TODO: investigate if this is due to kqemu or other environmental factors, or restart QEMU between setup stages. Restarting QEMU allows it to continue... | ||
| + | |||
| + | Enter a name ("Test" for this example), then enter the product key. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Accept the default computer name and blank administrator password. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Accept the default time configuration. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Accept the default network configuration and workgroup. | ||
| + | |||
| + | After this stage of setup completes and another reboot, setup is complete. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Click OK on the Display Settings dialog to adjust the screen resolution, then click OK to accept the change. | ||
| + | |||
| + | After some time, the first-run wizard appears; press Next. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Select "Not now" on the Windows Update page, then click Next. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Click "Skip" on the network configuration page. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Select "No" on the activation page and click Next. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Enter "Test" as the first username and click Next. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Click Finish. | ||
| + | |||
| + | At this point, you should be at the Windows desktop. | ||
| + | |||
| + | TODO: Network adapter did not acquire an address from QEMU's DHCP server; reboot allowed it to work. | ||
| + | |||
| + | == iSCSI initiator setup == | ||
| + | |||
| + | Download the Microsoft iSCSI [[http://download.microsoft.com/download/C/0/3/C0326CE2-51D0-4E1C-A9E0-7E16BE79410B/CHK-Boot/Initiator-2.08-boot-build3825-x86chk.exe|initiator]] in the VM, then run the installer. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Select "Initiator Service" and "Software Initiator" only, then click Next. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Select "I agree", then click Next. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Click Finish when the installation is complete. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Download http://git.etherboot.org/releases/sanbootconf/sanbootconf-latest.zip and extract it, then run install.bat. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Now setup is complete; shut down the Windows machine. | ||
| + | |||
| + | == iSCSI target setup == | ||
| + | |||
| + | On the iSCSI target machine, edit ''/etc/ietd.conf'' to add a target. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Target iqn.2000-01.test.etherboot.org:iscsiboot.xp | ||
| + | Lun 0 Path=/path/to/hd.img | ||
| + | IncomingUser testuser userpassword | ||
| + | OutgoingUser testtarget targetpassword | ||
| + | |||
| + | Ensure the iSCSI target is running. (ex. Gentoo: ''/etc/init.d/ietd start'') | ||
| + | |||
| + | == Booting with gPXE == | ||
| + | |||
| + | TODO: authentication | ||
| + | |||
| + | Create a gPXE script as follows and boot it: | ||
| + | |||
| + | #!gpxe | ||
| + | sanboot iscsi:my.target.dns.name::::iqn.2000-01.test.etherboot.org:iscsiboot.xp | ||
| + | |||
| + | (where my.target.dns.name is the DNS name or IP of the machine running the iSCSI target) | ||
| + | |||
| + | Windows should boot to the desktop. | ||
