The Xen configs I'm used to look like old-school Unix config files, with
"key = value" pairs.  The configs I'm seeing for domU's on OpenSolaris
are XML, with similar but not quite isomorphic <tag>value</tag>
constructions, and docs telling me not to edit them by hand.

Maybe xVM can understand "old style"(?) Xen config files, but if so I
can't find where they're stored, nor any examples to work from; the
virsh and virt-install man pages I've read only refer to the XML style
configs.

I could probably work around that -- ignore the warnings about
hand-editing and use virsh's config loading function -- but that still
doesn't get the .img file transferred into a ZFS volume.

Yeah, reading up on that now, also the couple more links Todd sent
along a few minutes ago.  But I think this is probably all barking up
the wrong tree, and I'll be better off just doing things the way
virt-install expects, with a Xen-capable ISO image.
