I guess somewhere either in FreeBSD GNATS or > xen's bugzilla there should be i386-xen FreeBSD bugs filed for me to track. I intend to file a bug report sooner or later, but in the meantime I decided to toy around with the kernel and the mfsroot from 5.3-release, and I did eventually come up with something suitable. By a combination of stripping down both the DOMU kernel and the sysinstall floppy, I managed to get the pair together in a size that works and doesn't caush an immediate crash under Xen. I've FTP installed 10 different guests with it now :-) Details and the files are at http://txrx.org/xen/ Regards Chris _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
