Hi,
You can run (in theory) any FreeBSD on a hardware that has HVM support.
You can check that with xm info. You can only run FreeBSD 8 as a PV
guest with 32bit arch and hvm-pv with amd64. For the pv or the hvm-pv
mode you have to compile the XEN (for 32bit) or XENHVM (amd64) kernel
config.
You'll have to install FreeBSD as a hvm guest and after a successful
install you may go on with the above mentioned kernels.
For pv mode use only 1 vcpu and max 2 for hvm-pv.
Regards,
Andras

Hi all,
I wanted to try running FreeBSD as a guest os.
I followed the instructions on this url.

I am not sure what Xen exactly does. Does it uses the kernel on the
dom0? Or does it both uses the bsd kernel on the dom0 and a modified
kernel on domU?
I do not have a done:
make buildkernel KERNCONF=/XEN
Is this necessary? I thought xen support was included in the kernel.
Do note the instructions I followed. I used those.
