hi,

i'm trying to get autoyast to use a defined /etc/fstab to setup a Xen DomU.

reading @,

  "4.4.6. Using existing mount table (fstab)"
   http://www.suse.de/~ug/autoyast_doc/CreateProfile.Partitioning.html

i've created a simple autoyast config,

        cat test.xml
                <?xml version="1.0"?>
                <!DOCTYPE profile>
                <profile xmlns="http://www.suse.com/1.0/yast2ns";
xmlns:config="http://www.suse.com/1.0/configns";>
                <partitioning_advanced>
                        <fstab>
                        <root_partition>/dev/xvdc1</root_partition>
                        <use_existing_fstab 
config:type="boolean">true</use_existing_fstab>
                        <partitions config:type="list">
                                <partition>
                                </partition>
                        </partitions>
                        </fstab>
                </partitioning_advanced>
                </profile>

i've placed,

        cat /etc/fstab
                /dev/xvdb1  swap                 swap       defaults            
  0 0
                /dev/xvdc1  /                    ext3       acl,user_xattr      
  1 1
                /dev/xvda1  /boot                ext3       acl,user_xattr      
  1 2
                proc        /proc                proc       defaults            
  0 0
                sysfs       /sys                 sysfs      noauto              
  0 0
                debugfs     /sys/kernel/debug    debugfs    noauto              
  0 0
                devpts      /dev/pts             devpts     mode=0620,gid=5     
  0 0

onto,

        /dev/VGU/vroot -> /etc/fstab

my DomU cfg contains

        cat test.cfg
                ...
                disk         = [ 'phy:/dev/VGU/vboot,xvda1,w',
                                                 'phy:/dev/VGU/vswap,xvdb1,w',
                                                 'phy:/dev/VGU/vroot,xvdc1,w',
                                           ]
                root         = '/dev/xvdc1'
                extra        = 'autoyast=nfs://.../test.xml ...'
                ...

@ domU init/launch,

        xm create -c test.cfg

the installer's invoked, as usual, but i get,

        "no linux root partition found"

@ the link above, i note,

  "The found partitions will be formatted and mounted as specified in
/etc/fstab found on a Linux root partition"

since i'm creating a new Xen DomU, there's no clearly _existing_ linux
root partition in the DomU

how, in autoyast, can i get the DomU installer to mount & use the
vfb's phy: devices for the install as defined in "an" /etc/fstab
passed to it?

thanks.
