[OpenIndiana-discuss] Got this working snv_134 dom0 with oi-151a7 domu

[Karl Rossing]

I'm able to install oi domu on snv_134 dom0 using
  pfexec zfs create -V 60G vpool/host/oi-dev-151a7
  pfexec virt-install  --name "oi-dev-151a7"  --ram 8192 --nographics  
--paravirt --vcpus=1 --os-type=solaris --os-variant=opensolaris -l  
/tmp/oi-dev-151a7-text-x86.iso --disk 
path=/dev/zvol/dsk/vpool/host/oi-dev-151a7 --debug

After the install, I reboot the server and get:

reboot: Not all drivers have implemented quiesce(9E)
         Please see /var/adm/messages for drivers that haven't
         implemented quiesce(9E).

I found a work arround to get domu working. I completed the following 
steps in dom0
  pfexec lofiadm -a /tmp/oi-dev-151a7-text-x86.iso
  mkdir /tmp/oi-dev-151a7
  pfexec mount -F hsfs /dev/lofi/1 /tmp/oi-dev-151a7
  pfexec mkdir -p /export/xen/oi-dev-151a7/
  pfexec cp /tmp/oi-dev-151a7/platform/i86xpv/kernel/amd64/unix 
/export/xen/oi-dev-151a7/
  pfexec cp /tmp/oi-dev-151a7/platform/i86pc/amd64/boot_archive 
/export/xen/oi-dev-151a7/
  pfexec virsh edit oi-dev-151a7
  change
    <bootloader>/usr/lib/xen/bin/pygrub</bootloader>
  to
    <bootloader></bootloader>
  change
    <os>
     <type>linux</type>
   </os>
  to
    <os>
     <type>linux</type>
     <kernel>/export/xen/oi-dev-151a7/unix</kernel>
<initrd>/export/xen/oi-dev-151a7/boot_archive</initrd>
     <cmdline>/platform/i86xpv/kernel/amd64/unix -B 
zfs-bootfs=rpool/ROOT/openindiana,bootpath=/xpvd/xdf at 51712:a</cmdline>
   </os>

At this point, oi seems to boot fine. I'm wondering why I have to copy 
the kernel and boot archive into dom0?
