Running Alpine in Live mode in QEMU
If your just want to give Alpine Linux a try, qemu can be used without a disk image and further configuration.
qemu -m 512 -cdrom alpine-3.2.0-x86_64.iso
You need to issue
grsec nomodeset
at boot prompt to avoid being forced in graphical mode and loosing access.
Question: Is there a way to pass an apkovl as paramater at this stage?
