Re: [Xen-users] domU boot from cdrom..?

Miguel,

you could make an ISO image from the CD-ROM and use that for booting.

This is an entry I use for starting off a NetBSD-ISO:

> disk = [ 'file:/var/xentemp/i386cd-3.0.iso,cd0a,r', 
> 'phy:/dev/LVMvg01/razalde,0x301,w' ]
You simply have to adjust pathes and mountpoints to your needs. It works 
in Xen 2.0.7, I did not try that in 3.0.x.
