Reading the BIOS code, my understanding is that 'boot from hard disk' means to boot from the first connected hard drive enumerated in the following order: primary master, primary slave, secondary master, secondary slave (i.e., hda-hdd). I confirmed this with a few simple tests -- attach a bootable image to hdd boots fine, but if I connect a non-bootable image on any of hha-hdc then the system fails to boot. This is all entirely deterministic. Selection of boot device should not be random, nor change across reboots. -- Keir _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel |
