Re: [Xen-users] opensolaris domU?

[Jeff Utter <jeffutter.lists@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hey, thanks for the reply.

I'm not using Sun's Xen. I don't have a readily available solaris box 
either. I was hoping someone knew a method to setup opensolaris under 
xen without solaris? I think it would work in a HVM setup (which i don't 
have readily available either) The other option is setting up a 
dedicated box like mentioned on sun's xen site. and making an image from 
that. I tried doing that in vmware but it wouldn't even boot after i 
rebuilt the kernel.
Any ideas? Did you setup a dedicated box like they have mentioned on 
their site and just copy the resulting image to a linux box?
