You can do either. I suspect it would be easier to just use grub. I |
| 14 |
don't know if xen provides a way to provide a command-line, if not you |
| 15 |
could build a default command-line into your kernel. |

I haven't messed with it recently, but some of my docs on running |
| 18 |
Gentoo on EC2 might be useful, since EC2 is ultimately running xen |
| 19 |
guests. Other than using the right kernel settings for xen support in |
| 20 |
your guest there really isn't much needed to get it working with |
| 21 |
Gentoo. Most of my write-ups were about the Amazon process (creating |
| 22 |
disk images, configuring grub.cfg for Amazon's grub and device |
| 23 |
numbering, etc). |
