I am trying to boot a domu from a clonezilla iso I have so I can copy the information over the network from the physical machine. I cannot get the thing to boot off the iso to save my life. In xen 4.0 what is the proper way to boot from an iso file using the standard xen_xm config files?

vif         = [ 'model = e1000' ]

vfb         = [ 'vnc = 1,vnclisten   = 0.0.0.0' ]

sdl         = 0

vnc         = 1

serial      = 'pty' 

usbdevice   = 'tablet'

bootloader      = '/usr/bin/pygrub'

kernel          = '/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader'

builder         = 'hvm'

boot            = 'dc'

disk            = [ '<target disk spec here>,xvda:sda,w', 'file:<path to your ISO here>,xvdc:cdrom,r' ]

After you start the VM, open up a vncviewer to the dom0 address and you should see the install screen.

Once it's installed you can switch to pv mode if you want.
