Re: Xen 3.0 and Pacifica

[Robin van Leeuwen <rvl@rldsoftware.nl>]

Thanks for your reaction it's very appreciated.
I know this is "Xen-Devel" and not "Simnow-users"
but i downloaded simnow and at a first glance it looks
nice. I created a debian .hdd file with the disktool and
the debian-sarge-64-bit-network-install cd but
it keeps comming up with "No OS found" even when i
only use debian-sarge.hdd as primary and no other devices.

Can you give me a short answer? or point me in the right
direction (mailinglists, howto's etc) for the right
documentation.
