i all,

I had success installing and running Windows as a domU on Ubuntu amd64
/ Xen 3.0.2-2 using an image file:
disk = [ 'file:/vserver/xen-images/winxp.img,ioemu:hda,w' ]

I have another disk where I installed Windows directly (not using Xen)
and I would like to run it as a domU from its own disk and partition.
Is it possible?

Here is my configuration:
BIOS boot order:
1. cdrom (/dev/hdb)
2. SATA disk (/dev/sda)
3. EIDE disk (/dev/hda)
Grub menu (at /dev/sda):
  Ubuntu 6.06 amd64 with kernel 2.6.15.23 
    root=/dev/sda1
  Xen 3.0.2 with kernel 2.6.16.13-xen
    root=/dev/sda1
  Windows XP 
    map (hd0,0) (hd1,0)
    map (hd1,0) (hd0,0)
    rootnoverify (hd1,0)

I tried with:
disk = [ 'phy:hda1,hda1,w' ]
cdrom='/dev/hdb'
boot='c'
But it boots from cdrom, not from hard disk. Am I missing some
configuration variable?
