Message-ID: <4AEF23FE.90604@gladserv.com> Greetings all, What's the present status of FreeBSD running under Xen? I see some posts in the archives of this mailing list suggesting RC2 works. Is anyone using this in production yet? I was planning on offering FreeBSD virtual servers from next year, but I've had an enquiry already so I'm looking at it sooner than I'd expected. Documentation at http://wiki.freebsd.org/FreeBSD/Xen is a bit thin. It links to http://www.fsmware.com/xenofreebsd/7.0/download/ which is broken: $ host www.fsmware.com Host www.fsmware.com not found: 3(NXDOMAIN) Is this the most up-to-date doco? Happy to contribute to improving it (assuming I can get it working myself, of course!)

I'll use that as a starting point and see how I get on. -- __________________________________________________________ Application Hosting | Virtual Servers | Monitoring | Email Tel: 0131 510 0340 http://www.gladserv.com/ From cr4z3d at gmail.com Wed Nov 4 20:34:46 2009 From: cr4z3d at gmail.com (Allan) Date: Wed Nov 4 20:38:40 2009 Subject: Getting started with FreeBSD 8.0 RC2 on Xen Message-ID: <358c9f370911041214k16dbcb1agc422644426690974@mail.gmail.com> Hello, I would like to properly run FreeBSD 8 on my installation of Xen.
