Hi,

I am trying to convert my OpenSolaris 2008.11 xen image running on the top of OpenSolaris 2008.11 dom0 to VDI format.
Converted to VDI using following command


divyen@divyen-laptop:~/ec2-img$ VBoxManage convertfromraw opensolaris_2008_11_ami.img opensolaris_2008_11_ami.vdi
VirtualBox Command Line Management Interface Version 2.2.2
(C) 2005-2009 Sun Microsystems, Inc.
All rights reserved.

Converting from raw image file="opensolaris_2008_11_ami.img" to file="opensolaris_2008_11_ami.vdi"...
Creating dynamic image with size 10485761024 bytes (10001MB)...
divyen@divyen-laptop:~/ec2-img$

When I tried to boot it up this VDI on Virtual Box 2.2.2, I am getting following error.
"Fatal: No bootable medium found! system halted."

Is there anything special I need to do for the conversion?

Thanks and Regards,
Divyen Patel
