Re: [Xen-users] howto install from cd/network/image/foo with 3.03

For HVM (not para-virtual domains), you can just specify either a
CDROM-drive or a .iso as the source of the installation for the
virtual cdrom-drive. Is that what you're asking about?
Just add the relevant 'phy:/dev/hdd,hdc:cdrom,r' or 'file:/someplace/file.iso,hdc:cdrom,r' as appropriate to "disk=" in your config.
I managed to use "boot=d" (actually, "boot='cd'" was what I used, but it booted from the DVD-device) yesterday for a SuSE 9.1 (although it got stuck part-way into the install, but looking at the state of the DVD, I wouldn't be surprised if it was caused by "dirty DVD" rather than anyhting else).
I don't do PV at all, so I can't say if that's supposed to work or not for para-virtual domains.

Meeeep, thats not working for me.
My Xen version is Xen 3.0.3
Here is my config for a test domain
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
disk = [ 'file:/data/xen/test/hda,hda,w',
'file:/data/xen/SuSE_9.3_CD1.iso,hdc:cdrom,r' ]
memory = 2048
vcpus = 1
image = 'linux'
name = 'test'
vif = [ 'mac=00:16:3e:b7:77:3d' ]
localtime = 1
on_reboot = 'restart'
on_reboot = 'destroy'
on_crash = 'restart'
extra = 'TERM=xterm'
kernel = '/boot/vmlinuz-xen'
ramdisk = '/boot/initrd-xen'
root = '/dev/hda ro'
boot = 'd'
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
No booting from the iso. I also tried "boot='c'", "boot=''cd", boot='dc'".
I think there is no more working "boot" parameter anymore in Xen 3.0.3.
There is some different way to schoose the boot-medium.
So does anyone know how it works or can tell me please where to look?
