Why do you think asking about NetBSD on a FreeBSD list is going to give you better reesults than asking about NetBSD on a NetBSD list? Or even on a Xen list? Out of all the information in your message, you describe the actual issues pretty baldly. -- unable to set the IP number in a Xen instance * How exactly did you try to set the IP Address manually? * What happened? Showing ifconfig(8) output for the interface concerned would be good. -- avoiding the necessity for human interaction when booting on Amazon EC2 Your description looks as if the netbsd image is stopping at single user mode, which it will do if there are certain problems. A typical reason for this would be the need to run fsck to fix filesystem problems, but there are many other possible causes. Look at the console output just before it prompts you for which shell to run to work out what the actual problem is. Once you've got the system booting up to multi-user correctly, the normal init scripts should take care of running dhclient etc. for you, given that you have configured them properly. Cheers, Matthew PS. FreeBSD runs well as a Xen domU (ie guest) instance, both on generic Xen and on Amazon EC2. See http://wiki.freebsd.org/FreeBSD/Xen FreeBSD doesn't have Xen dom0 (ie host) support yet. -- Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil.

I am assuming you are trying to get a bridge setup working. What is the bridge configuration in dom0? On a separate note, your email still is not proper. Learn to put contents in an email rather describing your problem in a PDF.

RE: Networking IP Address Issues : NetBSD on Xen VM
List, Please ignore my previous mail with the same subject line because there was a terrible formatting mistake. Please see the attached pdf which briefs the problem in assigning the IP address to the netbsd virtual machine. The Xen VM is running on Debian/ GNU Linux. Please find the attached document for detailed description. Any hints much appreciated.
