Debian Boxed on Mageia

[Michael Hill <mdhillca gmail com>]

I got Debian Testing to install from an iso into Boxes on my new
64-bit Mageia host. For my next trick I will come up with the correct
boot parameters to boot from the new box's hard drive (not a menu
option on the install CD).

I tried to do the same with a Fedora iso but got this:

Boxes-WARNING **: wizard.vala:136: Failed to create domain: internal
error Process exited while reading console log output: char device
redirected to /dev/pts/2
qemu-kvm: -drive
file=/home/mike/.cache/gnome-boxes/fedora16-unattended.img,if=none,id=drive-scsi0-0-1,format=raw:
could not open disk image
/home/mike/.cache/gnome-boxes/fedora16-unattended.img: No such file or
directory

...but will try again in the morning.
