Debugging

To get debug logs from the QEMU install, add the following lines to qemuargs:

  [
    "-netdev",
    "user,id=user.0,hostfwd=tcp::8080-:80"
  ],
  [ "-device", "virtio-net,netdev=user.0"],
  [ "-device", "virtio-scsi-device"],
  [ "-device", "scsi-cd,drive=cdrom"],

On failed installs, select Save Debug Logs > Web from the menu. Then curl localhost:8080/syslog from the host. Note: The CDROM flags are needed as setting -device will remove all the default -device flags that QEMU builder normally adds.
