Xen devel - Dec 2008 - PyGRUB booting a ISO image...

People,

 Can I use PyGRUB to boot an ISO image (with vmlinuz plus Xen guest support
builtin) and start installation inside a PVM Domain?!

 I think I can boot ubuntu-8.10-server-XXX.iso directly in a PVM domain but,
how?

Thanks,
Thiago

That''d be quite hard to do it completely automatically, as the guest
provides a bootloader that assumes a full BIOS etc. for its basic IO.

You can however extract the kernel, initrd and kernel parameters from
the ISO and give them in your xen configuration file.
