Next: Quick Start, Previous: Top, Up: Top [Contents][Index]
The goal of pretest is to provide virtual-machine images of
Free-Software POSIX-compliant operating systems, for portability testing of
GNU software (or any other autotools-based software).
The virtual-machine images are pre-configured to have similar settings and similar tools installed.
This version of pretest provides images for quick and easy manual testing. Future versions will add automated testing facilities.

Download one of the images in the Downloads section, and decompress the image
wget http://files.housegordon.org/pretest/v0.1/debian76.build-ready.qcow2.xz unxz debian76.build-ready.qcow2.xz
Run the image:
kvm -nographic -m 384 \
-net user -net nic,model=virtio \
-drive if=virtio,media=disk,index=0,file=debian76.build-ready.qcow2
User name is miles, password is 12345.
While the virtual machine is running, type CTRL-A, C to switch to QEMU Monitor mode (http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/QEMU/Monitor). Type CTRL-A, c to return to the virtual machine’s console. For details about KVM parameters, see Simple KVM usage.
A helper script (pretest-run.sh) provides more KVM/QEMU options, see Pretest-run script.
Next: Usage, Previous: Quick Start, Up: Top [Contents][Index]
This version of pretest provides two types of pre-built virtual-macihne images:
Minimal configuration, after a clean install from a CD ISO image, using (mostly) default settings for the installation process.
Based on the ’clean-install’ images, with additional packages installed to
enable compilation of GNU software (or other autotool-based pacakges).

| • Build-Ready VMs: | GNU-autotools configured VMs | |
| • Security Considerations: | Security Considerations |
Next: Build-Ready VMs, Previous: VM Configuration, Up: VM Configuration [Contents][Index]
Pretest’s virtual machine in ’clean-install’ state are configured with the following items:
sudo without a password (except MINIX)
The minimal kvm usage would be (replace XXXX.qcow2 with the
download image file, after decompressing with with unxz):
kvm -nographic -m 384 \
-drive if=virtio,media=disk,index=0,file=XXXX.qcow2
Or use the supplied pretest-run.sh for more options:
pretest-run.sh XXXX.qcow2
see Downloads for list of available VM images.
Next: Build Recipes, Previous: Clean-Install VMs, Up: VM Configuration [Contents][Index]
Pretest’s virtual machine in ’build-ready’ state are configured with the following items (in addition to all ’Clean-Install VMs’ settings):
gcc or clang)
make, and optionally gmake (if make is not GNU make)
automake, autoconf, authoreconf)
makeinfo)
pkg-config, gperf, libtool, help2man
git, rync, wget, xz
GNU Hello:
cd /tmp wget http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/hello/hello-2.9.tar.gz tar xzf hello-2.9.tar.gz cd hello-2.9 ./configure && make && make check
GNU Coreutils:
cd /tmp wget http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/coreutils/coreutils-8.23.tar.xz xzcat coreutils-8.23.tar.xz | tar -xf - cd coreutils-8.23 ./configure && make && make check
NOTE: On some OSes (e.g. MINIX, NetBSD6.1.4) compilation fails half-way through.
cd /tmp git clone git://git.sv.gnu.org/datamash cd datamash ./bootstrap && ./configure && make
NOTE: Building from git (using gnuli’s bootstrap) usually requires a recent version of autotools programs which are not always available.
pretest-auto-build-check http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/hello/hello-2.8.tar.gz pretest-auto-build-check git://git.savannah.gnu.org/hello.git
Which will download the tarball (or clone the GIT repository), then run
bootstrap (if needed), configure, make,
make check.
The typical kvm usage would be (replace XXXX.qcow2 with the
downloaded image file, after decompressing with with unxz):
kvm -nographic -m 384 \
-drive if=virtio,media=disk,index=0,file=XXXX.qcow2
Or use the supplied pretest-run.sh for more options:
pretest-run.sh XXXX.qcow2
see Downloads for list of available VM images.

The pre-built VM images are configured with very little security in mind.
sudo commands without requiring a password.
These pre-built images must not be used for any production or public servers, or as a basis for such servers.

Next: Pretest-run script, Previous: Usage, Up: Usage [Contents][Index]
All images are pre-configured to be used with QEMU/KVM with the default parameters and with virtio drivers (except GNU Hurd which requires IDE drivers).
A typical usage is:
kvm -nographic -m 384 \
-net user -net nic,model=virtio \
-drive if=virtio,media=disk,index=0,file=debian76.build-ready.qcow2
All pre-configured VMs support serial console (QEMU’s -serial mon:stdio).
All pre-configured VMs support graphic monitors (QEMU’s -vga cirrus or related option).
NOTE: Some VMs have special requirement, see each VM’s build instructions, or the pretest-run.sh script for OS-specific hacks.
Next: Pretest-auto-build-check script, Previous: Simple KVM usage, Up: Usage [Contents][Index]
The included script (pretest-run.sh) provides a common, simple interface for starting all pre-built images with the most common settings.
A typical usage is:
# Download a pre-built image wget http://files.housegordon.org/pretest/v0.1/debian76.build-ready.qcow2.xz unxz debian76.build-ready.qcow2.xz # Start it, with serial console pretest-run.sh debian76.build-ready.qcow2
The pretest-run.sh script will use the appropriate KVM/QEMU parameters for each VM/OS type.
By default the pretest-run.sh uses serial console, no graphic card, user-mode networking with DHCP and virtio drivers, and forwards the guest VM’s port 22 to the host’s 2222 TCP port.
Additionally, the pretest-run.sh accepts the following options:
Show help screen
Use N MBs of ram (default is 384MB)
Forward guest VM’s port 22 (SSH) to host port N (default 2222).
To connect to the guest, use the following on the host:
ssh -p $ssh_port miles@localhost
Disable QEMU’s -snapshot mode, write changes to QCOW2 image file. (default: use -snapshot)
NOTE: Even with -snapshot mode on, changes can be written to the VM
disk image using the QEMU Monitor (press CTRL-A,c, thent type
commit all).
Connect the guest VM’s 2nd serial port to a file on the host.
To send data from guest VM to host, run (inside the guest VM):
echo hello > /dev/ttyS1 (on GNU/Linux) echo hello > /dev/com1 (on Hurd) echo hello > /dev/ttyu1 (on FreeBSD) echo hello > /dev/tty01 (on Dilos, MINIX, OpenBSD, NetBSD)
The file will be named FILE.serial (based on input QCOW2 filename).
Mount FILE.ISO as an IDE CDROM drive. To be used with pretest-guest-init.
Use CURSES VGA text interface (QEMU’s -curses option).
Default is no VGA adapter, only serial consoele.
Use VGA Display mode (QEMU’s -vga cirrus).
Default is no VGA adapter, only serial consoele.
Fork QMEU process in the background (QEMU’s -daemonize).
Default is to stay in the foreground. Implies -P.
Write PID file (QEMU’s -pidfile).
The file will be named FILE.pid (based on input QCOW2 filename).
Next: Pretest-guest-init script, Previous: Pretest-run script, Up: Usage [Contents][Index]
All Build-Ready VMs contain the pretest-auto-build-check script. This script can be used to simplify the download/build/check procedure when testing a new pre-release tarball.
Typical Usage:
pretest-auto-build-check SOURCE
Where SOURCE is a URL of a tarball, or a URL of a git repository.
Examples:
pretest-auto-build-check http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/hello/hello-2.8.tar.gz pretest-auto-build-check git://git.savannah.gnu.org/hello.git
Additionally, the pretest-auto-build-check.sh accepts the following options:
Show help screen
Add PARAM as a parameter to the configure step.
Add PARAM as a parameter to the make step.
Add NAME=VALUE as an environment variable to all commands.
When cloning a git repository, check out branch BRANCH instead
of the default master branch.
The script does the following:
gzip,bzip2,xz are supported). Or,
./bootstrap
./configure
make
make check
Next: Sending data from Guest to Host, Previous: Pretest-auto-build-check script, Up: Usage [Contents][Index]
All Build-Ready VMs contain the pretest-guest-init script, pre-configured to run the script on start-up (as late as possible in the boot sequence, just before enabling login).
The pretest-guest-init script is a feature-limited, portable initialization script, conceptually similar to CloudInit (https://launchpad.net/cloud-init).
When each VM boots, the pretest-guest-init script does the following:
To connect a CDROM manually, run:
kvm -nographic -m 384 \
-net user -net nic,model=virtio \
-drive if=virtio,media=disk,index=0,file=debian76.build-ready.qcow2 \
-cdrom FILE.ISO
A simpler method is to use the -i option of pretest-run script:
pretest-run.sh -i FILE.ISO debian76.build-ready.qcow2
TODO:
Explain how to create a compatible ISO image with genisoimage.
Next: LibVirt usage, Previous: Pretest-guest-init script, Up: Usage [Contents][Index]
Using a serial file, exporting data from the guest VMs to the host is easy.
Start a guest VM with the -r option of pretest-run.sh, like so:
pretest-run.sh -r minixR330.qcow2
The guest VM’s 2nd serial port will be connected to a file named minixR330.serial on the host (the first serial port is connected to the console by default).
Inside the guest VM, use uuencode (or base64, or other
similar commands) to convert a binary file to text, then send it to the
serial port:
# On GNU/Linux VMs: uuencode -m /path/to/file REMOTENAME > /dev/ttyS1 # On MINIX, NetBSD, OpenBSD, etc VMs: cat FILE | uuencode -m /path/to/file REMOTENAME > /dev/tty01
It is also recommended to use a checksum program (e.g. sum) to verify
the integrity of a binary file after the transfer.
On the host, decode the file like so:
cat minixR330.serial | tr -d '\r' | uudecode
and a new file REMOTENAME will be created on the host. Compare the
sum of the generated file to the guest’s sum to verify integrity.
NOTE: The FILE.serial is truncated every invocation of the
pretest-run.sh script.

The Debian Compilers Pack virtual machine image is pre-configured with multile compilers and cross compilers:
Additionally, the virtual machine is configured with binfmt and QEMU’s
static emulation to run cross-compiled binaries.
See Downloads for download instructions, and Debian Compilers Pack for details about how this virtual machine was installed.
When using this virtual machine, an autotools-based project can be
compiled like so:
wget http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/hello/hello-2.9.tar.gz tar -xf hello-2.9.tar.gz cd hello-2.9 # Cross-Compile for ARM ./configure --host=arm-linux-gnueabi # Cross-Compile for PowerPC ./configure --host=powerpc-linux-gnu # Cross-Compile for MIPS ./configure --host=mips-linux-gnu # Cross-Compile for Windows 32Bit ./configure --host=i686-w64-mingw32 # Cross-Compile for Windows 64-bit ./configure --host=x86_64-w64-mingw32 # Native Compile using CLANG (instead of the default GCC) ./configure CC=clang # Native compile using TCC (TCC is C99-compliant compiler) ./configure CC=tcc # The continue to build the project make
When compiling for ARM/PowerPC/MIPS, the resulting non-native binary can be executed on the host using QEMU+binfmt:
$ ./configure --host=arm-linux-gnueabi <...> $ make <...> $ file ./src/hello ./src/hello: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, ARM, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.18, BuildID[sha1]=0xcdb472c330662c870db31789e13de057f22c4f52, not stripped # The ARM binary can be executed: $ ./src/hello Hello, world! # And autotools tests can be used: $ make check <...>

Build recipes follow a common structure:
General Information (such as Home page and Download page) for this operating system.
Where to find the CD ISO image file used for this VM installation.
Scripts to download the ISO and run QEMU/KVM for the initial installation are provided in the build_scripts directory.
Some OSes need special QEMU/KVM flags for initial installation. This section will list any critical issues.
Scripts to download the ISO and run QEMU/KVM for the initial installation are provided in the build_scripts directory.
Notes regarding special setup/installation options required during the setup process. In the future, this step should be automated, see See Future Improvements.
After the installation from the ISO file is complete, the system should be
rebooted (still running under the same QEMU/KVM process).
The build scripts are configured to boot from the installed drive.
This section lists commands to be run at this stage, to prepare the image
to be run with the pretest-run.sh scripts with similar settings
(e.g. same password for user root and non-root user miles,
sudo without password for user miles,
boot using serial console, etc.).
When this step is complete, QEMU/KVM should be stopped, and the QCOW2 file are tagged as ’clean-install’. Such pre-built images are available for download, see See Downloads.
This section lists commands required to install build tools (e.g.
autoconf, git, make, etc.).
The VMs are started using pretest-run.sh, and after installation is
complete, the QCOW2 files are tagged as ’build-ready’. Such pre-build images
are available for download, see See Downloads.
This section lists where the two pretest scripts (pretest-guest-init and pretest-auto-build-check) are installed, and how the pretest-guest-init script is configured to run at boot time.
This section lists how the VM image files (the downloadable *.qcow2.xz files) were packaged.

GNU Hurd home page: http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/
GNU Hurd is the OS kernel, and several different user-space OSes are availble. The instructions below use GNU Hurd/Debian, see http://www.debian.org/ports/hurd/hurd-install.
The VM setup for GNU Hurd starts with a pre-build Hurd/Debian system (not a
CDROM ISO image file). The pre-build image was prepared by Debian User
~sthibault, see https://people.debian.org/~sthibault/hurd-i386/README.
The raw disk image used was https://people.debian.org/~sthibault/hurd-i386/debian-hurd-20140529.img.gz
After download and uncompressing the image, qemu-img was used to
convert the image from RAW format to QCOW2 format.
Download and initial QEMU invocation commands are available in the build_scripts/build_hurd-20140529.sh file, see See Downloads.
GNU Hurd can not use virtio drivers for disk or networking. The installation script (build_scripts/build_hurd-20140529.sh) and the run script (pretest-run.sh) use IDE for disk emulation, and RTL8139 for network emulation.
See http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/hurd/running/qemu.html
There are no installation instructions, the GNU Hurd/Debian image is already installed.
Login with root (no password).
Add user miles:
adduser miles passwd miles # enter '12345' for the password
Add user miles to sudo group:
adduser miles sudo
Enable sudo without password for sudo group members:
sed -i -e '/^%sudo/s/ALL$/NOPASSWD: ALL/' /etc/sudoers
Configure booting using serial console (see https://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/faq/serial_console.html):
echo 'GRUB_CMDLINE_GNUMACH="console=com0"' >> /etc/default/grub update-grub
Install additional software:
apt-get install help2man libtool
Enable password-less SSH login:
sed -i '/^#AuthorizedKeysFile/s/^#//' /etc/ssh/sshd_config
pretest-guest-init and pretest-auto-build-check are installed in /usr/local/bin.
pretest-guest-init is started from /etc/rc.local.
Stop GNU-Hurd VM with shutdown -H -h now.
Note: since the downloaded image is already installed, there is no ‘clean-install‘ version of of GNU Hurd VM.
Tag the hurd.qcow2 as ‘build-ready‘. A pre-build image is available for download, see See Downloads.

ISO : ftp://mirrors.nycbug.org/pub/OpenBSD/5.5/amd64/install55.iso
OpenBSD 5.5 installation works well with default QEMU/KVM settings and virtio drivers. See the installation script (build_scripts/build_openbsd55.sh) for download and QMEU/KVM commands.
During setup, select the following options:
NOTE: I chose ftp as installing packages from CD failed with ’dc_attach’ errors (and reboot). YMMV.
+bsd.mp
-game55.tgz
-xfont55.tgz
-xserv55.tgz
-xshare55.tgz
When installation is complete, type "Reboot", to reboot into the newly installed system (from disk).
Login with root (password: 12345).
Enable Serial Console for amd64/i386 targets (see http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq7.html#SerCon):
echo "set tty com0" >> /etc/boot.conf
NOTE: Using com0 will prevent QEMU’s -curses from showing console log on the screen (though login will still be possible).
Enable Login on Serial Console:
sed '/^console/s/off secure/on secure/' /etc/ttys > /tmp/t \
&& mv /tmp/t /etc/ttys
Shorten boot-loader timeout:
echo "set timeout 1" >> /etc/boot.conf
Enable Sudo without password for ’wheel’ members
sed '/^# %wheel.*NOPASSWD:/s/^# //' /etc/sudoers > /tmp/s \
&& mv /tmp/s /etc/sudoers && chmod 0440 /etc/sudoers
Stop the VM with /sbin/halt, tag the QCOW2 file openbsd55.qcow2
as ’clean-install’. A pre-build image is available for
download, see See Downloads.
Start openbsd55.qcow2 with the pretest-run.sh script.
Once booted, login with root (password: 12345).
Install development packages:
echo 'PKG_PATH="ftp://mirrors.nycbug.org/pub/OpenBSD/5.5/packages/$(machine -a)/"' >> .profile
echo 'export PKG_PATH' >> .profile
echo autoconf-2.69p1 automake-1.14.1 gperf wget nano help2man libtool \

Setup autotools for user miles:
echo AUTOMAKE_VERSION=1.14 >> ~miles/.profile echo AUTOCONF_VERSION=2.69 >> ~miles/.profile echo export AUTOMAKE_VERSION AUTOCONF_VERSION >> ~miles/.profile
Without these settings, running autoconf will terminate with an
error message complaining about having to select a specific version.
pretest-guest-init and pretest-auto-build-check are installed in /usr/local/bin.
pretest-guest-init is started from /etc/rc.local.
Stop the VM with /sbin/halt,
Enter QEMU’s monitor mode (type CTRL-A, c),
Run commit all to save changes to openbsd55.qcow2,
Then quit to terminate QEMU.

See http://scie.nti.st/2013/3/4/how-to-resize-an-openbsd-root-partition/ for information about changing OpenBSD paritioning.
When installation is complete, type "Reboot", to reboot into the newly installed system (from disk).
Login with root (password: 12345).
Enable Serial Console for amd64/i386 targets (see http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq7.html#SerCon):
echo "set tty com0" >> /etc/boot.conf
NOTE: Using com0 will prevent QEMU’s -curses from showing console log on the screen (though login will still be possible).
Enable Login on Serial Console:
sed '/^console/s/off secure/on secure/' /etc/ttys > /tmp/t \
&& mv /tmp/t /etc/ttys
Shorten boot-loader timeout:
echo "set timeout 1" >> /etc/boot.conf
Enable Sudo without password for ’wheel’ members
sed '/^# %wheel.*NOPASSWD:/s/^# //' /etc/sudoers > /tmp/s \
&& mv /tmp/s /etc/sudoers && chmod 0440 /etc/sudoers
Stop the VM with /sbin/shutdown -h -p now, tag the QCOW2 file
openbsd56.qcow2 as ’clean-install’. A pre-build image is available for
download, see See Downloads.
Start openbsd56.qcow2 with the pretest-run.sh script.
Once booted, login with root (password: 12345).
Install development packages:
echo 'PKG_PATH="http://mirror.esc7.net/pub/OpenBSD/5.6/packages/$(machine -a)/"' >> .profile

Setup autotools for user miles:
echo AUTOMAKE_VERSION=1.14 >> ~miles/.profile echo AUTOCONF_VERSION=2.69 >> ~miles/.profile echo export AUTOMAKE_VERSION AUTOCONF_VERSION >> ~miles/.profile
Without these settings, running autoconf will terminate with an
error message complaining about having to select a specific version.
pretest-guest-init and pretest-auto-build-check are installed in /usr/local/bin.
pretest-guest-init is started from /etc/rc.local.
Stop the VM with /sbin/halt,

NetBSD 6.1.4 Release Announcement: http://netbsd.org/releases/formal-6/NetBSD-6.1.4.html.
ISO: ftp://iso.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/iso/6.1.4/NetBSD-6.1.4-amd64.iso
Notes:
See the installation script (build_scripts/build_netbsd614.sh) for download and QMEU/KVM commands.
During setup, use the default option for most choices. Note the following:
gcc in /usr/bin/gcc.
Installing GCC later proved to be challenging (fixes are welcomed).
When back in the shell, run reboot.
After reboot, system will boot from installed disk.
Login with root (password: 12345).
Enable DHCP:
echo "dhclient=YES" >> /etc/rc.conf
And immediately reboot (run reboot) to verify DHCP settings work.
Alternatively, run /sbin/dhclient viof0 to force dhclient update.
Add "pkgin" system (see http://www.unixmen.com/howto-install-pkgin-on-netbsd-6/):
echo 'export "PKG_PATH=http://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/packages/NetBSD/$(uname -m)/6.1.4/All;${PKG_PATH}"' >> ~/.profile
. ~/.profile
pkg_add -v pkgin
pkgin -y update
Install sudo, enable ’wheel’ group members to sudo without password:
pkgin -y install sudo sed '/^# %wheel.*NOPASSWD:/s/^# //' /usr/pkg/etc/sudoers > /tmp/s \ && mv /tmp/s /usr/pkg/etc/sudoers
Add user miles:
useradd -G wheel -m miles passwd miles # user password '12345', type it 4 times because it's weak
Enable console on serial port:
echo "consdev=auto" >> /boot.cfg
NOTE 1: allows login with QEMU’s -curses but not kernel/console/log messages.
NOTE 2: no need to update /etc/ttys - "console" is on by default.
Shorten boot delay:
sed '/^timeout=/s/=.*/=1/' /boot.cfg > /tmp/b \
&& mv /tmp/b /boot.cfg
Stop the VM with /sbin/halt, tag the QCOW2 file netbsd614.qcow2

Home Page: http://www.minix3.org/
Downloaded from: http://www.minix3.org/download/
ISO http://download.minix3.org/iso/minix_R3.3.0-588a35b.iso.bz2
First boot must use "-hda" and "-cdrom", can’t use "virtio" during installation. After installation, re-configure as virto, see http://wiki.minix3.org/UsersGuide/RunningOnQemu
MINIX seems to require a VGA adapter (using -nographic -nodefaults prevents successful booting).
See the installation script (build_scripts/build_minixR330.sh) for download and QMEU/KVM commands.
Hack note: The default MINIX3 setup allocates 128MB for the root partition, with the rest of the space for /usr and /home. For pretest, we prefer a large /tmp directory, and so we modify the setup script to allocate larger root partition.
Setup steps:
sed '/^ROOTMB=128/s/=128/=2048/' /bin/setup > /bin/mysetup
chmod a+x /bin/mysetup
This will create a new setup script (/bin/mysetup) which defaults to a large (2GB) root partition.
/bin/mysetup
Once installation completes, run reboot to reboot with the
newly installed system.
Login with root (no password).
Setup serial console (see https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/Minix3/cyY9NX6SLeo):
sed '/rootdevname=c0d0p0s0 $/s/$/console=tty00 /' /boot.cfg > /tmp/a \
&& mv /tmp/a /boot.cfg
NOTE 1: allows login with "-curses" but not kernel/console/log messages
NOTE 2: no need to update /etc/ttys - "console"is "on" by default
Shorten boot delay:
sed '/^timeout=/s/=.*/=1/' /boot.cfg > /tmp/b \
&& mv /tmp/b /boot.cfg
Setup non-root user miles:
useradd -m miles passwd miles # use 12345, type it 3 times
Stop the VM with halt,
tag the QCOW2 file minixR330.qcow2 as ’clean-install’.
A pre-build image is available for download, see See Downloads.
Start minixR330.qcow2 with the pretest-run.sh script.
Once booted, login with root (no password).

autoconf automake wget rsync pkg-config bash \
gperf gettext gmake bmake help2man nano libtool-info libtoo-base \
| xargs -n1 pkgin -y install
Minix uses clang but does not have cc by default,
add a soft link (for easier ./configure usage):
ln -s $(which clang) /usr/bin/cc ln -s $(which clang++) /usr/bin/cxx
Replace defective wget with a working older version:
The default wget on MINIX3 exhibits two problems:
http://www.perzl.org/aix/index.php?n=FAQs.FAQs#wget-warning-msg and
https://groups.google.com/d/msg/minix3/t1G13l4WJcQ/-Y6WfFAXCYkJ.
A temporary work-around is to install an old wget which doesn’t use
MSG_PEEK in recv(2).

CentOS 7 installation requires a graphic monitor, QEMU’s -curses can not be used. Installation also requires a high-resolution monitor (QEMU’s -vga cirrus is sufficient, but -vga std is not).
CentOS 7 installation requires 512 MB of RAM.
See the installation script (build_scripts/build_centos7.sh) for download and QMEU/KVM commands.
CentOS 7 Installer is graphical. Configure the VM by selecting the options in the following order:
Once installation completes, click the reboot button (bottom-right
corner) to reboot with the newly installed system.
Login with root (password: 12345).
Install sudo and setup ’wheel’ group to sudo without password:
Enable Console on serial port:
sed -i -e '/GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=/s/"$/ modprobe.blacklist=cirrus"/' \
-e '/GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=/s/"$/ text console=tty0 console=ttyS0,9600n8"/' \
/etc/default/grub
Reduce bootloader wait time:
sed -i -e '/^GRUB_TIMEOUT=/s/=.*/=1/' /etc/default/grub
Update GRUB bootloader configuration:
grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
Enable sudo without password for ’wheel’ group members:
sed -i '/^# %wheel.*NOPASSWD:/s/^# //' /etc/sudoers
Stop the VM with /sbin/halt,

DilOS uses Illumos (formally OpenSolaris) kernel with Debian-based packaing system.
Home Page: http://www.dilos.org/
NOTE: This version of pretest DilOS virtual machine is based on a pre-release version 1.3.7.18.
Official Downloads: http://www.dilos.org/download.
Pre-release downloads: http://apt2.dilos.org/dilos/isos/
ISO http://apt2.dilos.org/dilos/isos/dilos-core_install-14-09-19_17-23-1.3.7.18.iso
DilOS installer requires 1024MB of RAM.
DilOS requires using QEMU’s -machine pc-1.1 (without it, booting hangs forever).
DilOS seems to require a VGA adapter (using -nographic -nodefaults prevents successful booting).
See the installation script (build_scripts/build_dilso137.sh) for download and QMEU/KVM commands.
During setup, use the default option for most choices.
vioif0: yes
vioif0: yes
vioif0: no
Once installation completes, press OK to reboot with the newly installed system.
Login with root (password: 12345).
Enable serial port console (see http://wiki.openindiana.org/oi/4.6+Remote+Console):
# comment "background", uncomment "terminal"+"serial"
# add ",console=ttya" to "kernel$" line
gsed -i -e '/^background /s/^/# /' \
-e '/^# *serial /s/^# *//' \
-e '/^# *terminal /s/^# *//' \
-e '/kernel\$ /s/$/,console=ttya/' \
/rpool/boot/grub/menu.lst
Reduce GRUB timeout:
gsed -i -e '/^timeout [0-9]*$/s/ [0-9]*$/ 1/' /rpool/boot/grub/menu.lst
Ugly Hack: Disable ’sun-color’ terminal on the default profile
gsed -i 's/TERM=sun.*$/TERM=xterm/' /etc/profile
User miles is explicitly listed in the sudoers file, add NOPASSWD::
sed -i -e '/^miles/s/ALL$/NOPASSWD: ALL/' /etc/sudoers
Use only Free repositories:
echo "deb http://apt.dilos.org/dilos dilos-unstable main deb http://apt.dilos.org/dilos dilos-testing main" > /etc/apt/sources.list
Stop the VM with /sbin/halt,
tag the QCOW2 file dilos137.qcow2 as ’clean-install’.
