==== QEMU ====

You'll need a Quadra 800 ROM file. You'll also need to create a PRAM file with the following command:

''dd if=/dev/zero of=pram.img bs=256 count=1''

Below is an example of the command needed to boot the System 7 installer:

  qemu-system-m68k \
  -M q800 \
  -m 128 \
  -bios Quadra800.rom \
  -display gtk \
  -g 800x600x8 \
  -drive file=pram.img,format=raw,if=mtd \
  -device scsi-cd,scsi-id=3,drive=cd0 \
  -drive file=/path/to/system7.iso,format=raw,media=disk,if=none,id=cd0 \
  -device scsi-hd,scsi-id=0,drive=hd0 \
  -drive file=macintoshhd.img,format=raw,media=disk,if=none,id=hd0
