Re: [Xen-users] Domu skips CD on boot



Yeah, that occurred to me later, but it still doesn't hold much water in my book. I have seen a million dos/windows systems where d was NOT the cdrom, but rather E or F. If those drives were absolute, I could see it, but they change from system to system -- and lets not forget -- xen runs on linux systems... so why the dos convention?

No problem though, it had just been too long since I needed to mess with it, and I simply forgot. A review of the docs put me to right :)

I got it.  It had been so long I was reversing the codes... not very
intuitive, I'd say, but clearly my fault.

d = cd
c = hard drive

duh.

I had a problem long a go with that as well. I mean shouldn't "c =
cd", and "d = drive", a closer abbreviation?
Turns out it makes perfect sense for DOS/WIndows user. Drives A and B
are floopies, C = first hard drive, D = first cdrom :D
