It should be enough for people to bootstrap a FreeBSD/Xen DomU to evaluate. I'm currently trying out the freebsd-6.3-release image that I've built and it is currently uploading for others to test out. It seems slightly more stable than the freebsd releng_6 image. FreeBSD-current is stable except for a repeatable VM page bug which I'm looking at (but Kip will almost certainly beat me to it) and I as of yet haven't successfully built a releng_7 xen image. I hope this has taken all of the mystery out of bootstrapping a FreeBSD/Xen DomU. :) Thanks, Adrian
