- Does anyone have a working HVM config for a FreeBSD DomU under the
- NetBSD Dom0?
Here's what I'm using to run a FreeBSD 7.4-BETA1 HVM DomU on a
NetBSD Dom0. The host is NetBSD 5.1_STABLE/amd64.
Xen is xenkernel33-3.3.2 from pkgsrc. (xenkernel33-3.3.2nb1
just became available, but I haven't rebooted the host yet.)
Ignore the 8.1 stuff in the filenames, I originally started with
an 8.1 HVM, and was getting crashes.
