Booting the Debian 8.2.0 Iso Image for DOM-U Install



Hi,

I'm trying to boot the debian netinst ISO image to a domU for installing a new system. I'm running into some console problems during boot.

First - here's some info on my DOM-0...

$ uname -a
NetBSD xxxxxxxxxxx 6.1_STABLE NetBSD 6.1_STABLE (XEN3_DOM0) #12: Thu Jan 2 15:31:11 EST 2014 louis@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx:/usr/obj/sys/arch/amd64/compile/XEN3_DOM0 amd64

$ pkg_info |grep xen
xenkernel41-4.1.6.1nb5 Xen 4.1.x Kernel
xentools41-4.1.6.1nb2 Userland Tools for Xen 4.1.x

$ cat /etc/xen/debian-tmpl.dom
kernel = "/srv/xen/kernels/amd64/debian-8.2.0/vmlinuz"
ramdisk = "/srv/xen/kernels/amd64/debian-8.2.0/initrd.gz"
memory = 512
name = "debian-tmpl"
#vcpus = 1
vif = [ 'bridge=bridge0' ]
extra="xencons=tty1"
root = "/dev/xvdd1"

disk =  [
		'phy:/dev/mapper/vg1-tdeb,xvda,w',
		'file:/srv/xen/iso/debian-8.2.0-amd64-netinst.iso,xvdd:cdrom,r'
	]



If I boot with this configuration, I get the following error:

# xl create /etc/xen/debian-tmpl.dom -c
Parsing config file /etc/xen/debian-tmpl.dom
xenconsole: Could not read tty from store: No such file or directory
Daemon running with PID 1433


What is the correct configuration for booting off of the CDROM or at
least making it accessible to the installer kernel?

Louis
