Apparently Xen 3.1.4 dislikes this VirtualBox image for some reason.  Here's my 
process and result:

1) I prepared the comms vdi according to the instructions at the download site. 
 First few blocks look like this when viewed through less(1).

<<< Sun xVM VirtualBox Disk Image >>>
^...@^@^...@^@^...@^@^...@^@^...@^@^...@^@^...@^@^...@^@^...@^@^...@^@^...@^@^...@^@^...@^@^?^pھ...@^a^@<90>^...@^@^A^@

2) for simplicity, I copied it to a local file called Hawkeye.vdi

3) I created a Xen config file and used xm new to pull it in (don't hate me -- 
I had to do it this way to make NetWare work and I haven't learned how to do 
the new stuff yet):
j...@adra~[116]11:13>cat Hawkeye.xmconfig 
vcpus = 2
memory = "2048"
name = "Hawkeye"
vif = [ '' ]
vfb=[ "type=sdl" ]
disk = ['tap:vdisk:/jack/Hawkeye.vdi,xvdc,w']

4) ran xm start Hawkeye and watched it puke on the image:
j...@adra~[111]11:05>pfexec xm start Hawkeye
Error: Boot loader didn't return any data!
Usage: xm start <DomainName>

Start a Xend managed domain
  -p, --paused                   Do not unpause domain after starting it    
  -c, --console_autoconnect      Connect to the console after the domain is 
created


So..  Any insight?
