| | 3 | [http://cmrg.fifthhorseman.net/wiki/debirf debirf] is a minimal debian installation that runs entirely in RAM, allowing you to have full access to any underlying disks (among other benefits). |
| | 4 | |
| | 5 | To boot a KVM guest to debirf, first ensure that you have a debirf .iso file in /usr/local/share/ISOs on the host (if not, you can [http://debirf.cmrg.net/autobuilds/ download a pre-built one]. |
| | 6 | |
| | 7 | Then, create a symlink from /home/<guest>/vms/<guest>/cd.iso to this downloaded file and shutdown the guest. |
| | 8 | |
| | 9 | You can access the debirf image via the kvm console (`ssh <guest>@<host>.mayfirst.org screen -x`). |
