Xen Wiki for Stub Domain sample shows up syntax :-

name = 'OVM_EL5U1_X86_HVM_4GB'
uuid = 'de0edfdc-c6f1-4d2b-a2a3-88c035208c79'
builder = 'hvm'
device_model = '/usr/lib/xen/bin/stubdom-dm'
kernel = '/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader'
memory = '256'
vif = [ 'mac=00:16:3e:6b:66:d7,bridge=xenbr0', ]
disk = [ 'file:/share/vm/OVM_EL5U1_X86_HVM_4GB/system.img,hda,w!', ]
acpi = 1
apic = 1
pae = 1
vcpus = 1
sdl = 0
vnc = 1
vnclisten = '192.168.1.199'

My question :-

Is sign "w!" something new,been missed in Release Notes, or it's a typo ?

Following release notes i was able to install F8,F9,openSUSE 11,Solaris 10(05/08)

in stub domain (all 64-bit Linux stub DomUs at Xen 3.3 CentOS 5.2 Dom0). However, attempts

to install CentOS 5.2(1) hangs at the third installer's page "Keyboard layout
 selection".

OK. I've tried "w!" just now. It gets accepted, but result for 64-bit
CentOS 5.2 stubdom install is exactly the same. It hangs at the same
page.
