This was a weird way to run snowflake today. My IDE code sucks under Virtual Box; really no idea what’s wrong with it. So I decided to test it in QEMU, without an X Server in sight.
To make it even more fun, I’m running it inside another VM, my Ubuntu installation in Virtual Box. I have one ssh session for building snowflake and killing QEMU (I don’t know how else to quit) and another for running my QEMU session.
Anyways, despite the weird ways in which I do things, I booted snowflake in QEMU, with the primary hard disk pointing to my Ubuntu installation’s hard disk. And with my ext2 file system code, managed to list some directories.
The above is a directory listing of the following folder in Ubuntu: ~/google-code/snowflake-os/kernel. I had to run QEMU as: sudo qemu -boot d -hda /dev/sda -cdrom snowflake.iso -curses, for those curious about what I was doing. Also, appears it’s not doing the full directory list…
