When a Xen HVM guest is started with multiple disks in addition to a cdrom, e.g. disk = [ 'phy:/dev/VG0/boot,xvda,w', 'phy:/dev/VG0/swap,xvdb,w', 'phy:/dev/VG0/root,xvdc,w', 'phy:/dev/cdrom,xvdd:cdrom,r', ] how does one correctly specify booting from the cdrom? Reading XEN: How to CD-boot fully-virtualized DomU's after initial installation http://www.novell.com/support/kb/doc.php?id=3156432 "The drive numeration for fully virtual booting follows the traditional DOS drive enumeration; that is, hard disk start at "C" and continue up, followed by CD-ROM devices." suggests boot='f' But, as these params are (?) passed to qemu, checking qemu's man page, -boot [order=drives][,once=drives][,menu=on|off][,splash=sp_name][,splash-time=sp_time] Specify boot order drives as a string of drive letters. Valid drive letters depend on the target achitecture. The x86 PC uses: a, b (floppy 1 and 2), c (first hard disk), d (first CD-ROM), n-p (Etherboot from network adapter 1-4), hard disk boot is the default. To apply a particular boot order only on the first startup, specify it via once. suggests, boot='d' Which is correct? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-virtual+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-virtual+owner@opensuse.org
