My recent experience with OpenBSD under Xen ran into some problems.
First,
SMP didn't work. At the point in kernel boot where it brings up the
other
CPUs it would die. Installation of the OS worked because it used a
non-SMP
kernel. Second, once I was booted I untarred the ports tree. This
destroyed the file system. Third is a wish and not a problem per se,
I'd
like to see PV drivers for disk and network. I'm not a competent
kernel
developer, but I am willing to offer some monetary compensation for
work on
these problems. I know the reasons why not to trust EC2, but I'd
really
like to be able to use OpenBSD on EC2. If you're interested in doing
the
work, contact me.

Hi,
there isn't any support for Xen PV DomU in OpenBSD, isn't it?
What happened with Christoph Egger's work he is talking about in
https://archive.org/details/bsdtalk069 ?
Do you have some contact info for Christoph?
Is this the same guy http://www.christoph-egger.org/ ?
I'd like to join with getting this to work.
But my knowledge about BSD kernel is very basic and ends with patching
and compiling.
I've done some Linux kernel driver fixing and embedded device
development.
So I would be happy if some more experienced OpenBSD (wo)man could join
or at least doing some mentoring to shorten the "educational trail".
