Hi everybody,

Sorry for asking that, but have anyone managed to get a working
installation as a Dom0 or DomU.
Here are my problems:

I've installed Nexenta 1.0rc3 under vmware-server (installing on a box
with a SATA disk resulted on IO errors and hang after the reboot)
If I've enbled the Dom0 boot option as described in
http://www.nexenta.org/os/NexentaXenDom0 and tried to boot into the
system restarts after successfully loading the kernel (at least it seems
to load it), I've tried with both ZFS and UFS root filesystems.

My second test was trying to load Nexenta as a DomU in a
Xen-3.2/Linux-2.6.18  Dom0 configuration, with the following configuration:
name = 'nexenta'
memory = '512'
disk = [ 'file:/home/administrator/nexenta.raw,0,w' ]
vif = [ 'mac=00:16:3e:00:00:ff, bridge=lanbr' ]
kernel = '/home/administrator/platform/i86xpv/kernel/unix'
ramdisk = '/home/administrator/platform/i86pc/boot_archive'
extra = '/platform/i86xpv/kernel/unix -B $ZFS-BOOTFS'


where the file nexenta.raw was obtained by converting a ZFS based vmware
install to raw disk format by qemu-img.
The kernel and boot_archive copied by scp from the vmware install.

Unfortunately all I was able to get is:
Using config file "./nexenta.cfg".
Started domain nexenta
                      krtld: Unused kernel arguments: `$ZFS-BOOTFS'.

Loading Nexenta...

f5055720 genunix:main+af ()

syncing file systems... done
skipping system dump - no dump device configured
rebooting...

and the DomU shuts down.

Thanks in advance.
