Thanks. Having created the nodes manually, I'm able to start xencommons,
with one exception:

  Starting QEMU as disk backend for dom0
  /etc/init.d/xencommons: line 121: /usr/local/lib/xen/bin/qemu-system-i386: No 
such file or directory

I'm not sure if this is a problem. I can't find any i386 binaries in the
file system.

With that, I can run, for example, the command 'xl list' and it lists
Dom0 as a running domain (phew!). I hope to launch a DomU guest using
'xl create' command. I looked around the Internet to see if I can get a
sample file for an ARM guest, but with no success. I'm a bit dazed at
the number of options, which one's are required etc. Please could I
borrow one that I can use on Versatile Express board?

TIA.
