[Fedora-xen] backporting ZFS for pygrub

[Bill McGonigle]

Hi, all,

The subject line might be a bit off, I'm looking for confirmation that 
I'm headed down the right path.

Goal: boot a nexenta DomU (ZFS root) on CentOS 5.2 (until Fedora is 
ready...)

I'm not really sure how the xen boot chain is put together.  I find 
these in OpenSolaris:
   http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6690215
   http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6540109

which leads me to believe that pygrub uses libfsimage to read its 
stages/menu.lst and that from those above bugs I could probably extract 
some patches and see if they'll apply to the source in CentOS repos.

Anybody care to say if that sounds correct or likely or if I'm chasing 
wild geese?

Thanks,
-Bill
