      3Direct Linux Boot
      4-----------------
      5
      6This section explains how to launch a Linux kernel inside QEMU without
      7having to make a full bootable image. It is very useful for fast Linux
      8kernel testing.
      9
     10The syntax is:
     11
     12.. parsed-literal::
     13
     14   |qemu_system| -kernel bzImage -hda rootdisk.img -append "root=/dev/hda"
     15
     16Use ``-kernel`` to provide the Linux kernel image and ``-append`` to
     17give the kernel command line arguments. The ``-initrd`` option can be
     18used to provide an INITRD image.
     19
     20If you do not need graphical output, you can disable it and redirect the
     21virtual serial port and the QEMU monitor to the console with the
     22``-nographic`` option. The typical command line is:
     23
     24.. parsed-literal::
     25
     26   |qemu_system| -kernel bzImage -hda rootdisk.img \
     27                    -append "root=/dev/hda console=ttyS0" -nographic
     28
     29Use Ctrl-a c to switch between the serial console and the monitor (see
     30:ref:`pcsys_005fkeys`).
