Ok, not really annoying, Manuel Bouyer is working on domain0 support for NetBSD, so I won't have to install some linux on the box ;) As my girlfriend would like me to keep the bare minimum number of machines here, Xen is the way to run Net/Free/DFly and maybe some dreadful Debian on a single amd64 machine. Regarding this kind of setup, do you know if Xen could support amd64 in domain0 and mix amd64/ia32 kernels/userlands in other domains ? Regards.
