Right. The PV kernel is in the root of the iso, but
it did not get put in the ramdisk. Also, the ramdisk
name is changed from a standard Nevada iso so virt-install
wouldn't find it anyway. This would have been the py
file to use to install it manually.
Also, we don't have zfs boot support yet for PV
guests. We are working on this now.

To get X working in HVM, see the following instructions.
--
Start the domain using the install.py at the
end of this e-mail (edit it for your paths)
# xm create install.py
In another terminal, telnet to the domains "serial"
port
# telnet localhost 4444
In the HVM console in the grub menu, select text,
edit the kernel line and add ",console=ttya" after
livemode. Boot.
In the serial console, login
user: jack
passwd: jack
# su -
(password is opensolaris)
# /usr/X11/bin/Xorg -configure
edit /root/xorg.conf.new and change the
adapter driver from "cirrius" to "vesa".
Start X in the console from the shell in
the serial port.
# /usr/X11/bin/xinit /usr/bin/dbus-launch /usr/bin/gnome-session --
/usr/X11/bin/Xorg -config /root/xorg.conf.new :0
bring up a gnome terminal and launch the installer.
