minor issue with service vm oneiso vm1 (trying to install to zvol)

[hxw]

The vm script appear to ignore the value of vm_dev_type in the vm.conf file when booting install CD
using a command like service vm oneiso vm1

This line hard codes image in the device map

line 312:  echo "(hd0) $host_vmdir/$1/${1}.img" > $host_vmdir/$1/device.map

The workaround is to create vm1.img as a symlink to the right zvol. Perhaps in the case of a non-img setting the mkvm.sh could create this link just as it creates a symlink to the iso.

with the symlink in place everything worked smoothly, thanks

This sounds like two other requests that I am finally testing:

•   echo "(hd0) $host_vmdir/$1/${1}.img" > $host_vmdir/$1/device.map
  

•   echo "(hd0) $vm_device" > $host_vmdir/$1/device.map
  

Please give that a try and see it works as expected.

Note that this will create a device.map with (hd0) set to the ISO in "iso" mode. This should be fine for setup but would probably not work if someone wanted to interrogate a configured hard drive from the live ISO.
