To test your BIOS image in Qemu: Using genimage
--------------
If you use genimage to generate your complete image,
installing Grub can be tricky. Here is how to achieve Grub's
installation with genimage:
partition boot {
in-partition-table = "no"
image = "path_to_boot.img"
offset = 0
size = 512
}
partition grub {
in-partition-table = "no"
image = "path_to_grub.img"
offset = 512
}
The result is not byte to byte identical to what
grub-bios-setup does but it works anyway.
