I saw the proc filesystem in it and was rather concerned about it as that

copy the kernel out and boot that then install grub once I get into it?
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.
Can you tell me more about this?
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>
Umm, that will only work if my dom0 kernel matches the openfiler kernel
as the modules won't be found...
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?
I'd like to hear what the plan is here as well.
