For me, OpenBSD boots fine in HVM mode (with an I/O emulator).
I have not tried PVH mode and would not expect it to work. PV mode
definitely won’t work, and should be avoided anyway for both security
and performance reasons.
Is HVM mode okay, or do you need PVH?
I'd like to install and boot it in a remote service provider
environment.
There I have only Linux systems available to install and a Linux rescue
system to switch over.
The installation is not the problem. I could also use a disk image.
For boot I can only rely on a bunch of provided Linux kernels or the
pvgrub stuff to boot from the disks.
So the only chance to get it running would be the way with the
"Xen-grub" I think, if there is no possibility that Linux has learned to
boot (not virtual) BSD ;-)
Would there be a chance to hack on the Linux-bootcode to boot the
BSD-kernel? Makes it sense to look into how this boot works or doesn't
it make sense at all?!
