i got it to boot into a snapshot finally

although grub is now looking for /dev/hda4

my hacks:

in replicator.py:

devices = ['/dev/hda1', '/dev/hda2', '/dev/hda3', '/dev/hda5'] # FIXME

and

 rsync_url = "rsync://cms.porchlight.ca/stateless/%s/%s/" % (
                                             provisioning.config_name,
                                           provisioning.snapshot_name)

in ks-bootstrap.cfg:


cd /usr/share/stateless
chmod +x stateless-bootstrap.py
rm replicator.py
wget http://cms.porchlight.ca/stateless/replicator.py
./stateless-bootstrap.py -r /reserve-root -b /reserve-boot
