This would get you "getty restarted too many times, trying again in 5 minutes" (or whatever the message is) on non-Xen systems. If you install using d-i in PV mode however it will DTRT and setup the getty on HVC for you. If you install in HVM mode and convert then it is up to you. > What's the most easy way to mount an XAPI domU partition, in an ext SR, > from the dom0? How to locate the device path? (I've done it often for PV > or HVM domUs with non-XAPI Xen Debian systems) ISTR a tool in /opt/xensource/debug called with-vdi, or something along those lines, which would dump you in a shell with the devices setup etc. I don't know if this is in the Debian package though, I expect it should be.
