mv ~/download/maas/daily/*/amd64/*/installer.img .

Run the installer

# generate target device
qemu-img create -f raw target.img 10G

# run installer
sudo qemu-system-x86_64 -m 1024 -enable-kvm \
     -hda installer.img -hdb target.img \
     -serial telnet:127.0.0.1:2445,server,nowait \
     -monitor stdio

# login and shutdown, ubuntu/passw0rd

sudo qemu-system-x86_64 -m 1024 -enable-kvm \
     -hda target.img \
