Hello, Thank you for the reply and information. I have also tried to use scsi controller on the VM with the same result. See below the dmesg and VM configuration.
Also, since I do have access to the xen host, I have looked at the logs under /var/log/xen and I found the following errors: ==> xen/qemu-dm-obsd_64_wks.log <== xen be: qdisk-2080: xen be: qdisk-2080: error: Failed to get "write" lock error: Failed to get "write" lock xen be: qdisk-2080: xen be: qdisk-2080: initialise() failed initialise() failed I have also tried to disable xbf (through boot -c). It allowed the detection of the disk and the installation went through, but at the next boot the disk was not detected. I guess, I would need to save the boot config but I don’t think it is the right approach. I would prefer to make it work without having to disable xbf. dmesg: --------- boot> cannot open cd0a:/etc/random.seed: No such file or directory booting cd0a:/6.4/amd64/bsd.rd: 3511114+1500160+3892040+0+598016 [372715+111+441072+293323]=0xa208a0 entry point at 0x1000158 Copyright (c) 1982, 1986, 1989, 1991, 1993 The Regents of the University of California.
