[OmniOS-discuss] booting under xen

[Theo Schlossnagle]

Not sure about that.  I haven't looked at the 151a stuff at all, so
I'm not sure about the differences.  I know we deliver all the kernel
bits as a part of the core distribution though.  Perhaps we are
missing Xen-related stuff on the disk itself.

We use distro constructor... so on a working OmniOS box, you should be
able to install: pkg:/install/distribution-constructor

and I believe the xml description we used to build the install disk
gets installed with that.

Eric might know more.
