I think I installed from CD, but I did setup the NIC successfully during
the installation process IIRC.

Sure, just let me get back to the office and power on my test machine ;D
I turned the beast off the last work day, and I'm off until January the
8th. I'll post the configuration as soon as I get back to work.

Anyway it is a quite plain HVM config. I specified hvmloader, 1 vcpu, no
pae/apic/acpi, a disk image generated with dd as physical IDE disk ( I
think I had problems with SCSI detection), for the NIC I used ioemu and
specified ne2k_pci as NIC model (detected as ne3 in OpenBSD) as IIRC.

I installed the i386 OpenBSD 4.0 port from CD (tried amd64 without
success), checked out the full -stable source via CVS and rebuilt
kernel/userspace. No particular issue encountered, apart from a strange
detection problem with the NIC which at same point was recognized as re
(4) instead of ne (4). But I think this was caused by me tampering with
the configuration file of the HVM guest.

Debian Etch 2.6.18 / Xen 3.0.3 on HP DL360 G5 ( Xeon Dual Core 2.0Ghz /
6GB RAM ).

HTH,
