(To do any sort of +realistic testing you will also need an operating system image, +eg. from /var/lib/xen/images, to experiment with). For example: + + $ cp /var/lib/xen/images/rhel5gax32fv.img . + $ make boot HDA=rhel5gax32fv.img + qemu -m 512 -cdrom virt-p2v-0.1.iso -boot d -hda rhel5gax32fv.img
