Hello,
I am trying to run SCO unix 5.0.5 with KVM.
I have created the Virtual Machine with virt-manager.
The installation runs correctly, but when the virtual machine reboots
from hard disk, i obtain this message :
"FATAL: No bootable device."
If i run manually the virtual machine without the suboption "boot=on" in
the "-drive" option, the virtual machine boots correctly.
Why is "boot=on" preventing my VM to boot ?
Is there a way to modify the .xml file for this VM to inform libvirt to
not add "boot=on" ?
Thanks
Jean Michault.

This bit I'm not sure of, but suspect the answer may be in the mailing
list archives.
Have you tried using the "Search" function in the top right hand corner
of the libvirt.org website?
It searches the mailing list archives. :)

The libvirt command line utility, virsh, has an "edit" command so you
can change XML definitions manually.
For example:
(to make the connection)
$ virsh -c qemu+ssh://myuser@myserver/system
Welcome to virsh, the virtualization interactive terminal.
Type: 'help' for help with commands
'quit' to quit
virsh # list --all
Id Name State
----------------------------------
1 someguest running
virsh # edit someguest
(vi launches, with the XML loaded for editing)
Does that help?
Regards and best wishes,
Justin Clift

What version of libvirt are you using and what are the qemu-kvm
command line. I fixed something like this during the summer but
without information about your version and the actual args or XML
it's just impossible to answer correctly !
