A couple of nits here, alc@ fixed the PV memory restrictions so the 850M limit isn't a thing anymore: FreeBSD ref9-xen32.freebsd.org 9.0-STABLE FreeBSD 9.0-STABLE #2 r231914: Mon Feb 20 05:30:49 PST 2012 sbr...@ref9-xen32.freebsd.org:/var/tmp/dumpster/scratch/sbruno-scratch/9/sys/XEN i386 [sbruno@ref9-xen32 ~]$ sysctl hw.physmem hw.physmem: 2136674304 And, I think, there is a 64bit PV config now in development at: http://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/projects/amd64_xen_pv/ This is prerequisite work for a dom0 on freebsd which is under development. Stay tuned, things are happening!
