Hi guys:
we got some information about xen 3.0's features on
http://summit.xensource.com , and noticed that an guest fw was listed in
the TODO.
then what is the difference between XEN guest fw and the ordinary
bios or something?
can xen on a VT box provide standard HW platform to hold standard
firmware like bios?

The plan is to package the rombios and the vgabios that ships with qemu
(These got checked into bk earlier this week). This BIOS is known to
work with the PC platform emulated by qemu.
In other words, the answer to your question is, yes - Xen + VT can
present a standard PC platform to a guest OS, including the firmware.
