Using qemu-img to Convert Chrome OS Zero for VM
Posted on 17. Jan, 2010 by Daniel Cawrey in Tips
A reader has just submitted to me:
“Basically, you need to create a generic 32-bit Linux virtual machine in VMware. Just make sure the hard disc is set to use IDE and not SCSI. Then you need to use qemu-img to convert the Chrome OS disk image into a vmdk with the following syntax:
- CODE: SELECT ALL
qemu-img convert -f raw chromeos.img -O vmdk chromeos.vmdk
After, that, just replace the virtual hard disk VMware created with the Chrome OS vmdk, and you should be good to go.”
