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'
That's not a HVM domain, so that'd be why it's not workin, as per Gerd's
comments that this was a Xen 2.x feature, and has been changed in Xen 3.0.x

Ok, HVM = Full virtualization, thats right?
And I can only boot HVMs from physical boot media or iso.
And why is this so? I feel like Xen is now crippled. I dont see the sense.
And can anyone show me the/a workaround?
Or does I use it wrong.
And thanks for youre answers

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?
