 i did:
 vnconfig -v -c vnd0 /home/peter/xm/Solaris/solaris.iso
 and the same problem + NOTICE message:

 #disk = [ 'file:/mnt/solaris/solaris.img,0,w' ]
 vif = [ 'bridge=bridge0' ]
 
 i also tried with:
 disk += [ 'phy:/dev/vnd0d,6:cdrom,w' ]
 and nothing
 
 may be, should i label the disk = [ 'file:/mnt/solaris/solaris.img,0,w' 
 ], cause it is raw.?
