When booting from a disk image, the Qemu builder resizes the disk to 40000
which is not a multiple of 1kB. This causes problems while booting from the image.
Updating the default disk size to 40960 fixes this issue
versions of qemu prior to 1.0 only had experimental support for xen. Xen
is now part of qemu main-line, and so should be fully supported. See
https://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/QEMU_Upstream.
Should help people dealing with #4570 and #3328 because packer copies
`floppy_files` to floppy without any error even if they exceed 1.44 MB
limit. `floppy_dirs`throws error about FAT size limit exceeded but
without mentioning that real issue is the floppy size limit:
```
Build 'qemu' errored: Error adding path virtio_iso to floppy: FAT FULL
```
- Can now tune delay using PACKER_KEY_INTERVAL
- Added implementation to all of VMware and QEMU
- Removed double delay for QEMU
- Default key delay of 100ms (as before)
- Added docs to QEMU and VMware pages
This option allows to set the extension of the ISO file after download.
Defaults to "iso". It makes sense for building Mac OS X guests, where the
bootable image is actually a DMG, not an ISO.
In particular, it is important for "parallels-iso" builder to set the right extension.
Took some digging to realize that `iso_url` can actually take in a qcow2 or img format. This is fantastic and works great out of the box. I feel like adding the extra 2 lines of docs will help future users looking for this.
