I just want to say that the use of xvm for both the xen and virtualbox
based solutions is very unfortunate... it makes googling for information
about the xen based xvm almost impossible.
I'm attempting to get a debian etchr4/ubuntu 8.04 paravirt domU
installed and am running into my lack of understanding about the
mechanics of xen based domU installs. I have tried:
$ pfexec virt-install -n etch-01 -p -r 512 --vcpus=2 --nographics -f
/dev/zvol/dsk/rpool/xvm/debian-etch/disk0 -l
/xvm/debian-etch/debian-40r4-amd64-netinst.iso
Starting install...
Could not find an installable distribution at
'/xvm/debian-etch/debian-40r4-amd64-netinst.iso'
Domain installation may not have been
successful. If it was, you can restart your domain
by running 'virsh start etch-01'; otherwise, please
restart your installation.

Obviously, this does not just work out of the box and I tried Ubuntu
jeOS too, just to be sure. Can anyone give instructions for getting a
current debian etch/ubuntu para-virtualized domU setup on opensolaris
2005.11 (build 94) xvm?
