Ant: Could not open channel to DOM0
Ok, here is the file:

kernel="/home/install/netbsd-INSTALL_XENU"
memory=32
name"nbsddom1"
nic=1
vif=['mac=aa:00:00:50:01:f0,bridge=bridge0']
disk=['phy:/dev/cd0a,cd0a,r']
root="/dev/wd0d"

At the moment the only disk I configured here ist the CDROM. For a boot test this should be enough, I suppose.

Hello,

I installed NetBSD 3.0_Beta and the xen 2.0 package.
Domain0 runs without any problems.

But when I try to create a domain1, I always get
"Could not open channel to DOM0".

This domain seems to start, it is shown in "xm list",
but I cannot manage it.


I searched for this error message in google, but only
found a page from japan ... which I could not
understand ....

Any ideas?

Rigas

A CD isn't directly bootable, it requires (depending on its type) some tricks
by the bios to boot (like loading a floppy image from CD and creating a
virtual fdd for it)

Try to extract the boot image from the CD, and pass the CD drive and the boot
image to xen. Maybe you also need to extract an initrd or something from
there and pass that, too, but I don't know enough about netbsd to give any
hint there.

The easier way will probably be to install NetBSD without xen, and use that
root partition to boot the netbsd-xenu kernel.
