We'd like to help with Xen

Hi Folks,

Prgmr.com, Inc. (http://prgmr.com/) is a Xen-based Virtual Private 
Server hosting service.  We presently offer Linux and NetBSD DomUs, and 
would like to offer FreeBSD as well.

I've been asked to help get FreeBSD to work under Xen.  My understanding 
is that FreeBSD can be gotten to boot as a DomU, but doesn't work reliably.

I'm an experienced programmer, but not at all with FreeBSD.  The closest 
I've come to FreeBSD work is the Mac OS X kernel, which is in part based 
on FreeBSD.  I also used to work with the old BSD-based SunOS, many 
years ago.

Other than being eager to help, I don't even know where to start.  Of 
course I will need to learn FreeBSD kernel programming, but I don't even 
know where to start with that.

Perhaps someone could give me a little hand-holding until I know my way 
around the source tree.

Best,

Mike
