FreeBSD on domU, now

[Tom Graves]

I'm by no means an expert, but I recently went through same issue of
figuring out how to build it and get it running. Here are some useful
links.  I built the freebsd 6.3 version with xen. You didn't specify if
you wanted to get it running in hvm or paravirt.  The build stuff is
for modified freebsd with xen for running in paravirt.

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/virtualization-guest.html
http://benoit.litchis.org/freebsd-xen/ (location of some images)

To build you use XEN kernel config - something like:
make buildworld buildkernel installworld installkernel distribution DESTDIR=/foo KERNCONF=XEN

Create disk image or put on physical disk and then mess with /etc to setup files you need.

Hello!

I need to set up a FreeBSD domU on a CentOS box, for testing purposes
and maybe later for production app. Any documentation I found basically
redirects me to Kip Macy's fsmware.com which is down. Is there a mirror
of the stuff anywhere? Is there a possibility of setting the stuff up
from grounds up without having to keep a separate FreeBSD box for
building bootstrap?

TIA

Alex
