Right that makes sense to me, proc seems unnecessary. You thing you could
do is to extract the tar file and move all but the proc directory into
a guest image
file. Also then create an empty /proc directory in the guest image.

The pygrub method of booting will soon be deprecated and replaced with PV-Grub
for security reasons.

You don't need to use pygrub or PV-Grub to boot though, you could simple use the
dom0 kernel and ramdisk by specifying them in your config file.

replace your bootloader=pygrub line with:

kernel=/boot/<your dom0 kernel>
ramdisk=/boot/<your dom0 initrd>

As for the missing disk image, that would have to be up to the
openfiler developers
to provide. In the past I thought that the disk image was a very nice
touch and made
the process of using openfiler as a Xen guest much easier. Is there a
reason it was
dropped or was it simply a mistake?

If you want a better understanding of Xen in general I would recommend our book
"Running Xen: A Hands-on Guide to the Art of Virtualization". We have a website
that you can find more details about the book and have lots of good resources on
the site too: http://runningxen.com

Hope that helps.
