do not want to have it remotely configurable. nor want anyone to be able to "reset configuration" remotely. some configuration is fixed, static. to change it one needs to change the image. this is intentional. hobbyist user wants this. bootloader is on removable media user sends to provider. user is not using any provider software. user is paying for dedicated server and internet connection. that is all. do not use linux, mirageos. do not need to. have rump. user can make own xen guest kernels and xen host kernels. anyway, this is tangent, irrelevant. user does not need virtualization necessarily and in any case not virtualization provided by third party. simple requirements: want dedicated bare metal server. want hardware and internet connection. do not need/want provider software. will pay more for this.
