I've not heard of anyone trying this yet, but yes, it should be possible and should be fairly straightforward. You'll at the least have to fix up the boot device path, which you should be able to do from failsafe boot. Before you try with the physical disk, dd it to a file and try booting from that. Another thing to try is to boot it as a PV domain. ----------------------------------------------------- Russ Blaine | Solaris Kernel | [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ xen-discuss mailing list [email protected]
