xen discuss - Oct 2007 - Booting the Solaris 10 snv_75 DVD in a DomU running under a Linux Dom0

Hi,

is it possible to create a grub entry on the Solaris installation DVD to boot
the DVD in a DomU running under a Linux Dom0?

To use the snv_75 installation DVD in a DomU running under a Linux Dom0
it''s still necessary to copy the x86.miniroot and the kernel to the
Dom0 and bypass the grub on the DVD.

I did some tests with interactive editing the grub menu after booting the DVD in
a DomU running under a Linux Dom0 but did not get it work until now

regards

Bernd

What we need to do is to get our virt-install changes upstream and then you can
just use that on Linux
