Before You Start
- First download the latest Alpine CD image.
- Install qemu on your system (e.g. yum -y install qemu on a Fedora based system)
Create the Virtual Machine
Create a disk image if you want to install Alpine Linux.
qemu-img create alpine.qcow 8G
The following command starts qemu with the alpine iso image as cdrom and boot device, the default network configuration, 256 MB memory, and the disk image that was created in the previous step.
qemu -cdrom alpine-2.3.6-x86_64.iso -hda alpine.qcow -boot d -net nic -net user -m 256 -localtime
Tip: Replace qemu with qemu-kvm if your hardware support this.
Log in as root (no password) and run:
setup-alpine
At the question on how to use the disk select sys.
Booting the Virtual Machine
After the installation qemu can be started from disk image (-boot c) without cdrom.
qemu alpine.qcow -boot c -net nic -net user -m 256 -localtime
