I'm switching my main workstation to OpenBSD and investigating if xenserver can boot existing installations from an external usb without specialist disk formats but the install seems rather poor (disk selection, disk size) and makes me wonder about the competency of it's development. It also seems to require two machines to function at all? Qemu performance is of no issue for my immediate needs and I obviously prefer to use OpenBSD native for many reasons including debugging without wondering if the virtualisation is at fault and it would be nice to have the last resort performant back stop option on a single laptop of an external boot device to run multiple existing OS including the natively installed OpenBSD and say Windows or Linux for certain tasks or unavoidable commercial packages and switch back to native for most things. So I'm hoping I can boot OpenBSD with qemu or Windows or Linux under multiboot or alternatively boot xenserver or something off a usb and select 2 or more of the multiboots to run concurrently. Any input as to if this is possible with esxi or anything else would be appreciated. -- _______________________________________________________________________ 'Write programs that do one thing and do it well.
