[OpenIndiana-discuss] OpenIndiana on EC2

[Schweiss, Chip]

I've been working from the wiki page:
http://wiki.openindiana.org/oi/Creating+OpenIndiana+EC2+image

No problem getting OI running in Xen on Debian Squeeze w/ the pv-grub.gz
built with the supplied patches.   The problem comes in when launching on
EC2.  The kernel can never mount root.

I've moved my testing to my local Xen and get the same problem anytime the
device numbers are set to 2048 and 2064:

disk = [
'file:/etc/xen/vm/oi_boot.img,2048,w','file:/etc/xen/vm/images/oi_147.img,2064,w'
]

It doesn't seem to matter which build I'm using.   I've tried 147, 148,
151a and 151a3.   This leads me to believe I'm missing something.

If I set the device numbers to 0 and 1,  OI boots fine.

While it was running this way I created the links in /dev/dsk and /dev/rdsk
and changed the device numbers back to 2048 and 2064, but it still fails to
mount root:

I'm guessing the links were not loaded properly.  Any help would be greatly
appreciated.
