I am using Gentoo. It seems that if I make a tarball of the guest and
then copy it to the workstation, change the profile, emerge the proper
baselayout, install grub, I would think it should be ok.
What do you guys think? Is this possible?
It definitely is possible.
I just moved a debian-vserver-guest to a xen-guest. A xen-guest is
more or less configured like a real physical machine (except for the
kernel and bootloader).
Under debian I would install grub, and run 'grub-install', configure
a kernel and place that kernel in the grub-config.
What I did, was just to edit /etc/inittab, change it accordingly (I
didn't get a login shell), and that's about it. If you have disabled
your root-password (as I did in my vserver-guests), you would have to
re-enable it. Networking-scripts might need to be adjusted, too (my
xen hosts gets it from kernel level ip autoconfiguration).
