Hello Freddie,

        I located your email with the config information. 

        I am using xen 3.1. When I run xm create a.cfg -c I get
"OSError: [ErrNo 3] No such process]". Any pointers ?

        Thank you for your reply and time.

Regards,

Sumant

Search the freebsd -stable and -current mailing list archives for 
March/April.  I posted the configs I used to install FreeBSD 6.3 and 7.0

(32-bit and 64-bit) into Xen HVMs.  I used Debian Lenny with the 2.6.24 
kernel and modules from Ubuntu.  And I also tried Ubuntu 8.04 beta.  

Eventually, I gave up on Xen on Debian/Ubuntu (too many issues on
hardware 
that required a newer dom0 kernel than 2.6.18) and moved to KVM as it
was 
a lot simpler to install, a lot simpler to configure, and things just 
worked with it (like bonding eth3 through eth6 into a single interface, 
and using that as the bridge interface, without any IPs associated to 
them, with eth0 as a management NIC with an IP -- something I could
never 
get to work under Xen, and that no one here could provide any insight 
into).
