<h3>Configuration file syntax:</h3> |
| 61 |
|
|
|
| 62 |
|
|
Configuration files are simple text files. I don't have time to write |
| 63 |
|
|
down a formal syntax right now, so I hope that conveying the syntax |
| 64 |
|
|
through an example is good enough: |

Starting the emulator with a configuration file is as simple as |
| 186 |
|
|
|
| 187 |
|
|
<pre> |
| 188 |
|
|
$ <b>./gxemul @myconfig</b> |
| 189 |
|
|
</pre> |
| 190 |
|
|
|
| 191 |
|
|
if <b>myconfig</b> is the name of the configuration file. |

<h3>A minimal example:</h3> |

Here is an example of what a minimal configuration file might look like: |

<p> |
| 220 |
|
|
For some machine types, specifying the <b>subtype</b> might not even be |
| 221 |
|
|
necessary. Also, adding a <b>net</b> is quite useful, especially for |
| 222 |
|
|
netbooting kernels. |
