[Nix-dev] xen nixos guest on a debian host

[Marco Maggesi]

Hi,
the subject basically says everything.
I would like to run a xen virtual appliance hosted by a debian machines.
I already have a debian configured guest (it is an empty scratchy
machine that I can erase) and I would like to turn it into a nixos
guest.
Can you see an easy way to do this?
My first attempt is: bootstrap the guest with the nixos minimal CD iso
image and make a new installation.
However, the kernel available on the CD do not have a kernel that
understand xen paravitualization.
I'm trying to use xen full virtualization but this is a source of many
small problems.
Do you have other ideas?
