This is the first of several emails I exchanged with Jim wrt some
problems I had running python scripts. We emailed off list but it makes
sense to bring this onto the list.

Subject: Re: Python script problems
In config.sxp, is see that vbd has '(bootable 0)'. This implies your
xen is 3.1.0 or greater. Currently Xen_VirtualSystemManagementService
does not set disk to bootable when creating the vbd. I guess I should
just set all disks bootable before creating the vbd. BTW, I now recall
asking about the vbd bootable field on Xen API ml

Never received a response :-(. Typical of my posts to xen mailing
lists. Anyway, if you have a config where kernel/ramdisk live on any
disk other than the first, you will need the attached patch for
domUloader to work - in addition to a fix for
Xen_VirtualSystemManagementService that I will commit shortly.
