It would be really great if you add an ability to boot the VM from existing physical raw disk.

Something like -drive file=${RAW_DISK},format=raw,if=virtio with RAW_DISK=/dev/sdX (and special config-file option) will be very useful.

Note: this idea was inspired by this AskUbuntu Q&A.

While this is a nifty idea, it is well outside the scope of what quickemu is intended for 🙂
