Dear All,
I am trying to install OpenSolaris 2009.06 32-bit paravirtualized guest
on OpenSUSE 11.1 32-bit paravirt-ops enabled Xen 3.4.1-rc8 Dom 0 Kernel
2.6.30-rc6.
However, I am getting an opensolaris console login prompt. There is no
GNOME DE for me to launch the GUI installer for OpenSolaris. I am using
the OpenSolaris LiveCD 32-bit.
I noticed under the guest domain configuration there is a parameter
called 'extra' kernel parameter. Does the 'nowin' argument stand for no
graphical windows?

http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zzjv8MCM2sk/SmoT5uzjF6I/AAAAAAAAAFU/2Y3KNWPUwWk/s1600-h/05.jpeg
Then I also get the "invalid disk device number (768)" error. Do I need
to use xvda instead of hda?
Thank you very much.
