I have the prebuilt kernel and root image from http://www.bsdclusters.com/xenofreebsd/ running on a Fedora Core 3 host. My xen config for the guest is below. It seems to work ok but seems to use more cpu time that the other guests (as shown by "xm list"). I found that without the boot.netif.* extras it would hang during boot right after the "GEOM: create disk xbd0" message (or "lo0: bpf" if booted in verbose mode). kernel = "/xen/freebsd/kernel-5.2.1" memory = 48 cpu = -1 name = "freebsd" nics=1 vif = [ 'mac=aa:00:00:00:00:28,bridge=xen-br0' ] disk = [ 'file:/xen/freebsd/mdroot,loop0,w' ] extra = "boot.netif.ip=192.168.32.17" extra += ",boot.netif.netmask=255.255.255.0" extra += ",boot.netif.gateway=192.168.32.254" extra += ",vfs.root.mountfrom=ufs:/dev/xbd0a" extra += ",boot_verbose=yes" #extra += ",boot_single=yes" -- Darren Tucker (dtucker at zip.com.au) GPG key 8FF4FA69 / D9A3 86E9 7EEE AF4B B2D4 37C9 C982 80C7 8FF4 FA69 Good judgement comes with experience.
