Re: NetBSD 5.1 on eucalyptus cloud

[Shreya Bokare <shreyabokare%gmail.com@localhost>]

Dear Sir,
As per your inputs we tried running NetBSD 6.0 on XEN. We are able to
create and run the VM, through which we get root file system. Since our
DOM0 is BOSS and DOMU is NetBSD , we used kernel and ramdisk files of BOSS,
with witch we are able to launch and run the instance of NetBSD on
Eucalyptus. Still the same proble exists <we are not able
to ping/ssh the IP taken by NetBSD instance>.
I have doubt if Eucalyptus supports NetBSD or not, please clarify.

Thanks and regards
Shreya Bokare
