Hi! May anyone assist me with booting FreeBSD DomU (under Debian Dom0). Now I''m using the kernel-current, downloaded from Kip Macy site at http://www.fsmware.com/xenofreebsd/7.0/download/ The problem is that I can''t specify _any_ root, the kernel can recognize: Mount point / had 1 dangling refs Manual root filesystem specification: <fstype>:<device> Mount <device> using filesystem <fstype> eg. ufs:da0s1a ? List valid disk boot devices <empty line> Abort manual input mountroot> And here I''m stuck since it even doesn''t allow me to enter a char. I''ve tried several vfs.root.mountfrom specifications per googled advises, including /dev/md0, /dev/xbd0a and /dev/xb769a, but with no success. What I''m doing wrong? Thanks in advance. -- Andrey V Khavryuchenko Software Development Company http://www.kds.com.ua/ _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

post your xm config file- i think root needs to be 0x03 or something.

Okay, to fix that one you need to fix the fstab so the device names are correct. Are you using Macy''s root filesystem? that is perhaps the easiest way to do it. use his file for /, then use your new vbd as a second disk; then you can login and verify that things like the fstab are correct before you boot directly into your vbd.

No, I''m using the filesystem from fresh FreeBSD 6.1 install in qemu. Worked nicely after /etc/fstab and ttys where changed. -- Andrey V Khavryuchenko Software Development Company http://www.kds.com.ua/ _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
