Something like this will probably work:


  /usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64
   -name coreos \
   -enable-kvm \
   -no-hpet \
   -m 4096
   -cpu Nehalem \
   -smp sockets=1,cores=4,threads=2 \
   -rtc base=utc,driftfix=slew \
   -pidfile /tank/coreo/coreos.pid  \
   -monitor unix:/tank/coreo/coreos.monitor,server,nowait,nodelay  \
   -vga std  \
   -vnc :1  \
   -nographic \
   -drive 
file=/tank/coreos/coreos.iso,if=ide,media=cdrom,index=0,cache=none \
   -drive 
file=/dev/zvol/rdsk/tank/coreos/disk0,if=virtio,media=disk,index=0,cache=none,boot=on 
\
   -boot order=cd,once=d \
   -device 
virtio-net-pci,mac=02:08:20:0c:04:d2,tx=timer,x-txtimer=200000,x-txburst=128,vlan=0 
\
   -net vnic,vlan=0,name=net1,ifname=vcoreos0 \
   -chardev 
socket,id=serial0,path=/tank/coreos/coreos.console,server,nowait \
   -serial chardev:serial0 \
   -usb \
   -usbdevice tablet \
   -daemonize

You should get vnc at port 5901, seemed to boot for me but I did not 
complete the install.



At the CoreOS site they say: Start like this: 

./coreos_production_qemu.sh -nographic

and they pass on that string -nographic  ...?

It makes me wonder, because they tell you to connect with the instans only over ssh with: ssh -l core -p 2222 localhost   ...

So I'm not sure if it is possible to connect via VNC...did you actually check VNC, to confirm you had a VNC connection?

It should boot and run from the image r/o, so perhaps you just need one "disk"? I can see you got two configured, or at least the iso file, and then a disk. Don't you think it would be enough with just the image file?

Perhaps I just try...



Regards

Jorge
