wic images are handled as vmtype images. Starting qemu with "-kernel"
parameter and an image of type wic is not supported. Especially for
"-machine virt" the combination of wic with -kernel parameter would
be beneficial.
The new parameter QB_FSINFO allows to pass image type specific flags to
runqemu. QB_FSINFO is a space separated list of parameters. Parameters are
structured according to the following pattern: image-type:flag.
For now two parameters are supported:
- wic:no-kernel-in-fs
The wic image is treated as rootfs only image. A -kernel option is
passed to qemu.
- wic:kernel-in-fs
The wic image is treated as VM image including a bootloader and a
kernel. This is still the default behavior.
Example:
QB_DEFAULT_FSTYPE = "wic"
QB_FSINFO = "wic:no-kernel-in-fs"
QB_KERNEL_ROOT = "/dev/vda1"
QB_SYSTEM_NAME = "qemu-system-aarch64"
QB_MACHINE = "-machine virt"
