Re: NetBSD as HVM guest

[Goran <netbsd-list%arcor.de@localhost>]

I've got a little progress... messages in xenbackendd.log. I shouldn't
touch the file after boot as xenbackendd don't like it.

What I've done:

# xm create appollon
Using config file "/usr/pkg/etc/xen/appollon".
Started domain appollon

Result in /var/log/xenbackendd.log:

Failed to read /local/domain/0/backend/vfb/3/0/script (No such file or
directory)
Failed to read /local/domain/0/backend/console/3/0/script (No such file
or directory)

2.
Choosing "1. Install NetBSD" from NetBSD 5.0 inst. CD (i386) - CD

Result in /var/log/xenbackendd.log:

Nothing. The domU just hangs.

3.
# xm destroy appollon

Result in /var/log/xenbackendd.log:

Failed to read /local/domain/0/backend/vfb/3/0/script (No such file or
directory)
Failed to read /local/domain/0/backend/console/3/0/script (No such file
or directory
