Hello,

Sorry for the delay. Ccing Ian Jackson and Ian Campbell, which are the
maintainers of OSSTest (our in-house Xen CI loop tool).

AFAIK the move to the new colo is finished, so I guess it's a right time
to start looking into this. The first step would probably be to add a
NetBSD 32 and 64bit PV DomUs, and then we can look into also adding a
NetBSD Dom0 (host).

Some time ago I've added support for a FreeBSD 32/64bit HVM DomU, not
sure if that's very helpful since it's HVM and not PV, but it might be a
good starting point. In any case, OSSTest code can be fetched from:

http://xenbits.xen.org/gitweb/?p=osstest.git;a=summary

Take a look at the ts-freebsd-install script in order to see how DomUs
are set up.

Roger.

Hi,

I've looked around the osstest sources.

I figure you need base images of some sort.  What are the requirements for
them like disk space and installed software.  How do you generate the base
images and on what OS?
