[xen-discuss] Converting a "physical iron" install into a domain?

Hello,

Just curious whether it would be possible to convert an [Open]Solaris or 
Nevada installation onto a physical server into an xVM domain?

If I create and HVM Domain which points to the whole physical disk where 
the installation was done, would that work? or is the 
hypervisor/Domain-0 expecting to use the disk differently?

I assume I would have to muck around with the device names since the 
disk and network devices would change running as a Domain.
