Folks:
I am unable to get my opensolaris sn-b85 domU to start up in an 
opensolaris sn-b85 dom0. I am booted to xvm. Other systems, such as 
Fedora 8, WinXP Pro, W2k3 server, W2k8 server and Windows Vista startup 
normally.

I have used the following to build the domU:

# mkfile -n 25g /solhvm/solhvm.img
# ls -l /solhvm
total 269
-rw------T   1 root     root     26843545600 Jul  7 10:37 solhvm.img
# # virt-install
Would you like a fully virtualized guest (yes or no)?  This will allow 
you to run unmodified operating systems. yes
 What is the name of your virtual machine? solhvm
 How much RAM should be allocated (in megabytes)? 1024
 What would you like to use as the disk (path)? /solhvm/solhvm.img
 Would you like to enable graphics support? (yes or no) yes
 What would you like to use for the virtual CD image? /isos/solb85.iso

Everything progresses as expected during the install and the install 
completes normally. After installation, I am using the following syntax 
from a python file to start up the domU:

# cat solhvm.py
name = "solhvm"
vcpus = 1
memory = "768"
root = "/dev/dsk/c0d0s0"
disk = ['file:/solhvm/solhvm.img,0,w']
vif = [ '' ]
on_shutdown = 'destroy'
on_reboot = 'restart'
on_crash = 'destroy'

# xm new -f solhvm.py
Using config file "./solhvm.py".
# virsh start solhvm
Domain solhvm started

# virsh console solhvm

Could someone give me a hint as to why the boot loader can't find the disk?

Thanks
