[Xen-users] NetBSD as domU: how can I pass BSD partitions in disk=[]?
Hello all. I sucessfully installed xen in Linux. dom0 boots ok, there is a NetBSD installation in /dev/sda2 that I want to use as domU. My configure file is: # $Id$ kernel = "/boot/netbsd-XEN3PAE_DOMU-200801280002Z" memory = 832 name = "mist" vif = [ ''mac=aa:00:00:00:00:11''] disk = [ ''phy:/dev/sda2,sda,w'' ] It boots fine, but it asks for the root filesystem. I just have to pass the root= option that I forget to put here. Then, I type "xbd0d" and NetBSD boots ok in single user mode. Then I cannot mount other partitions (that are inside the big NetBSD slice). xbd0* and sda* don''t work. I''m new to Xen and my question is if I have to pass a different configuration to the disk= option. I found two messages in the list try to address the problem: http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-users/2006-12/msg00499.html http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-users/2007-07/msg00590.html The first didn''t get answer (a very similar problem) and the other tries to address a fairly different problem.
