Usage
MiXen currently only implements a ramdisk.
This ramdisk can either be empty
or be preloaded with some image file.
There are some exmample configuration files in the
examples directory.
The
MiXen-NetBSD
configuration provides the
NetBSD installation CD
image for some client.
The
MiXen-ramdisk
configuration emulates an empty ramdisk
with about 1GB of free space.
When both of those are running,
starting the
NetBSD
configuration will use those two ramdisks
and allow the installation of NetBSD from the
emulated CD onto the empty disk image.
On initial boot, be sure to tell NetBSD to use
xbd1 as its root filesystem.
After installation,
you can reboot the virtual machine,
and it will come up from the ramdisk image.
