Is the aim to be able to boot from any device that can be plumbed to qemu, or to allow kernel/initrd parms to be specified from outside the HVM bootloader config file? If the former, Anthony Liguori's recent patch to implement an option ROM to allow easy cut-thru to any qemu backend device looks like an easier way to achieve that aim. -- Keir _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel |
