+== Bootable Qemu Images ==
+
+For qemu images to boot reliably they should not wait for a keypress at the grub command, which is distressingly common.
+
+To insure that your image does not wait for grub do the following:
+
+For Ubuntu 12.04 (and any system that uses grub2) edit /etc/default
+grub. Sample:
+
+{{{
+GRUB_DEFAULT=0
+GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0
+GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true
+GRUB_TIMEOUT=1
+GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian`
+GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
+GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""
+}}}
+
+Just make sure the HIDDENs are not commented out and have true/0 values.
+
+You then have to run a command on the
+system which generates all the new grub configurations:
+
+{{{
+$ sudo update-grub
+}}}
