Hi,
Is there some way to boot vmx machines from a floppy image (or
iso image)? With "boot=a" in the config file xm complains that
it doesn't know what 'a' is. With "boot=fda" that isn't the
case, but the sdl window doesn't shows up. With no boot= line
everything works fine up to the point where the bios tries to
boot the boot sector from the (still empty) virtual hard disk.
Any hints?
Gerd
