Hi Lukas,

Unfortunately there isn't.

I haven't tried myself, but apparently NetBSD works rather well as Dom0. That has long been on my list of things to test, though :)

Not sure if you are aware of it, but in order to run FreeBSD as DomU, you don't need FreeBSD or NetBSD as Dom0. That works just as well on your Debian Dom0. (With FreeBSD's known limitations as DomU, namely memory and architecture depending on PV or HVM virtualisation)


Cheers
