The above thread contains a hint for a workaround: Disable netbsd's floppy controller driver fdc. This works by booting netbsd with "boot -c", then using the commands "disable fdc" and "quit" at the "uc>" prompt. Now the NetBSD 3.1 kernel starts in a HVM domU, without hanging the guest domain (under snv66 dom0)... _______________________________________________ xen-discuss mailing list [email protected]
