Xen
Well, a search of these forums for Xen returns 0.
Has anyone here successfully gotten freebsd running as a DomU on Xen? Or even any output at all for that matter? I am running under CentOS and all of the tutorial sites are outdated by alot and/or broken links for neccesary files. |

NetBSD has Xen support. See http://www.netbsd.org/ports/xen/

I've had 32-bit and 64-bit FreeBSD 6.2 and 7.0 running in Xen 3.2 an 3.3 HVM setups, using Debian and Ubuntu for the Xen dom0. Requires hardware virtualisation support in the CPU/chipset, preferably using AMD CPUs, as their hardware virt isn't broken.
I've never bothered trying to get FreeBSD running in a PVM. However, with the introduction of hardware virtualisation support in all new CPUs, I've given up on the complexity of Xen, and have started using KVM instead. |

With Intel CPUs, there are a lot of hoops you have to jump through to get FreeBSD running in an HVM. Mainly, you can't use anything older than 7.1, as a bunch of patches went in after the release of 7.0 to make FreeBSD run in Xen HVM on Intel. You'll want to grab a 7-STABLE snapshot CD from October and use that for the install.
