Does XEN work with freebsd 6.x?
Does one run XEN inside of freebsd and then VMs inside that, or does
one run XEN on the bare hardware and then run freebsd inside that? If
I've already got freebsd running on my box, do I have to reload it
from scratch or is there a way I can virtualize what I already have
runing?

Hi Michael,
Afraid I don't have any experience of Xen, but I know Qemu works well
and I know for sure VMware has a cloning tool that does exactly what
you're after. Although after trying it once it occurred to me to
wonder why I'd want to run an identical copy of my laptop on my
laptop... :P
If Xen doesn't have a cloning tool, perhaps you can use the VMware
cloning tool and tweak the clone to run under Xen? After all, VMware
can use Qemu disks and Virtual PC can use VMware disks, so it might work.
HtH,

No, Xen doesn't work with FreeBSD as the dom0 OS. There's work being
done to port it to CURRENT (7), but I have some lingering doubts as to
whether or not Xen could be MFC (Migrate from CURRENT)'ed.
For questions about Xen, I suggest you consult the documentation up
on the xen-source.org site and/or ask them.
