[ug-bosug] Windows XP on Xen

[Sriram Narayanan]

Folks:

I was able to install and boot Windows XP on Xen on Solaris. This was
based on the special b66 based DVD.

I'm busy figuring out how to access the primary partition via the
/dev/rdsk/ hierarchy which would enable me to boot the natively
installed XP.

The only changes from the Xen documentation was the cdrom reference.

A bit of googling, and I made the following change to the config file
disk = [ 'file:/export/home/xen/xpdisk.img,ioemu:hda,w',
'file:/export/home/xen/winxpsp2.iso,ioemu:hdc:cdrom,r' ]

But Xen on Solaris works just fine :)

Once again, I'll post the real juicy details later, but for anyone who
already had the DVD and an XP ISO, go get started !
