Is this a bug or am I misconfiguring xen?  (BTW: using 3.0.3 on a C2Duo
6300, under latest Ubuntu, 1gb ram.)

If i use tap:aio thusly:

disk = [
'tap:aio:/media/hda8/win2k.img,hda,w','file:/media/hda8/win2k.iso,hdc:cdrom,r'
]

as suggested by the online documentation, i get a disc size of 0meg and
i'm unable to install onto the disc (it's reported as 0meg by the
'bios', by xm dmesg and by the OS installer).  But if i use:

disk = [
'file:/media/hda8/win2k.img,hda,w','file:/media/hda8/win2k.iso,hdc:cdrom,r'
]

as deprecated by the documentation, it works.  What's up with tap:aio? 
The documentation suggests it's much better than the 'file' mechanism.
