Greetings,

I've been working a bit on the image creating script, and have modified
it a bit as well as added a switch for creating VirtualBox images
(script from replica).

I'm getting a few errors on the qemu image (kvm), but the VirtualBox one
(converted from the qemu image) seems to be working fine.

It would be great if someone could test out how it works on your
machine, the latest script is at:
http://eple.thruhere.net/~gaute/git/exherbo.git/plain/scripts/create-exherbo-image

To build new images (including VirtualBox ones) from current stage and 
current kernel:
$ sudo ./create-exherbo-image -k=2.6.32 -a=x86 -t=current -v

Start in qemu (possibly qemu-kvm), maybe add some memory: -m 512
$ qemu -hda exherbo-x86.img 

There is a minimal livecd for use with qemu that I use to test if I can
chroot in and test out some of the binaries.
$ qemu -hda exherbo-x86.img -cdrom imager.iso -boot order=d


VirtualBox:
Add the .vdi as storage, use network adapter PCnet-FAST III

Get:
imager.iso at: http://omploader.org/vMnlnaw/imager.iso

Possible problems:
- Your installkernel gives vmlinuz a different name; check what it is and
  update grub configuration at makegrubconfig().
- You don't have grub-1 - you need it.

PS: This script includes commands messing around with grub as root, no
guarantees..

Thanks, gaute
