Thread-topic: [Xen-users] Booting from CD to rescue a DomU

In the config file add

 

boot = ‘d’

 

That is for HVM only.. if it is paravirt, mount the disk image and repair that way.

Hi Xen Users,


I would like to boot into a knoppix iso  on an existing domU.

In my config file i have:
  disk = [ "file:/var/lib/xen/images/machine-10.img,hda,w","file:/mnt/knoppix.iso, hdb:cdrom,hdb,r" ]

Can't seem to boot it though.  Do I have to go into the VMs BIOS to tell it to boot it?
Cheers
CHris
