+The items marked **CHANGEME** in the above command are all populated from a Xen configuration file. **NOTE**: it is very important to place the boot drive first in the list, before any other drives or cdrom's In the above example Xen config, I'd end up with something like:

 Once you have this done, edit the resulting file with any changes you may need. I change the CPU as per [[unix:virtualization:virtlib:migrate|]] so I can migrate easily.
