Re: [Xen-users] booting domU from DVD

[mark pryor <tlviewer@xxxxxxxxx>]

'file:/home/glenn/winosdvd.img,dvd,r'
                                             ^^^^^
change above to 
hdc:dvd

that should be enough as long as you have the dvd as an iso

cd /home/glenn
dd if=/dev/dvd of=winosdvd.img

its not enough to copy the dvd to the drive it must be an iso9660 file type
