Removable Disk switching while QEMU (Guest) is on
Sometimes, when you download something (like a Mac OS X Tiger disk), there are multiples and I don't know how to change them while the guest is on. Anybody know how?
If you need more info, tell me

That question is not so easy to answer without knowing you host OS. Are you running MacOS?
If so, see here:

If you have this issue during installation where you have to insert the next CD, you can try to add multiple CD's already on the command line:
-drive file=hd1,format=raw,media=disk,index=0
-drive file=cd1,format=raw,media=cdrom,index=2
-drive file=cd2,format=raw,media=cdrom,index=1
Alternatively, you can install the bare minimum from CD 1 and then boot from HD with the second CD as drive and continue the installation with the packages on the second CD.
Tiger is also available on DVD image

I can't get QEMU on MacOS to work with your guide, so I'm using Windows.

You can use the monitor prompt (accessible by pressing ctrl-alt-2) and enter the following command:
Code: Select all
change ide1-cd0 cd-image.iso
