# Need this so kvm-qemu will boot (needs non-/dev/zero local disk) if ! dd if=/dev/zero of=client.img bs=1M count=1; then
echo "Unable to make client sda image" 1>&2
return 1

$testdir/run-qemu -hda client.img -m 128M -nographic \

Technically this isn't true. You can use -hda /dev/null and it will boot just fine. But I guess we need that disk as a means to pass the nfs-OK messages?

We need the disk as means for that, yes, but qemu-kvm would not boot with -hda /dev/null IIRC, at least in the configuration I was using. --
