Hi xVMers,
Just liveupgraded to NV 75 on my Acer F4000 laptop and setup the grub
entry to run my NV 75 as Dom0 on xVM :) :) Apart from the frkit
PowerNow and the CPU freq. monitor in gnome getting very sad when they
lost direct access to the AMD64 chip everything else went great :)
Since then I have been trying to get NV 75 installed as a DomU (guest).
I use the following command and get the following output.....
sungeek:/ # virt-install -n sps -p -r 1024 --nographics -f
/export/xVM/sps.disk -l
/export/home/jeff/Documents/install_media/Solaris/Nevada_75_X86/solarisdvd.iso

I tried other location options:
using /net/localhost/....../solarisdvd.iso I got the same results
using nfs:localhost:/mnt (with the iso lofi''ed and mount on /mnt) I
got
the following.....
# virt-install -n sps -p -r 1024 --nographics -f /export/xVM/sps.disk -l
nfs:localhost:/mnt
