See recent port-xen (netbsd) for more information. If you're on NetBSD -current and not using LVM, keep in mind that's an option too -- even though presently, renaming/destroying lvs doesn't work (bin/44947). > I've been crashing the hypervisor pretty reliably by setting the DomU to > use multiple CPUs.

If using XENHVM, you should see a xn0 interface on ifconfig output. Just setup networking there instead. By coincidence you're also using NetBSD as the dom0, please let us know if you hit the same problem I did (see my recent post on this list). Regards, Hugo
