It already exists. You can run OpenBSD DomUs (ie. run OpenBSD as a Xen "guest"**), but AFAIK you still can't run OpenBSD Dom0s (ie. run OpenBSD as a Xen "host"**). See http://www.ropersonline.com/openbsd/xen/ ** This is a flawed metaphor, because Xen is a _hypervisor_, NOT an emulator. The Domain U installs are not really running as guest OSes, and the Domain zero installations are not really running as host OSes. But you need at least one Dom0 (which when I last looked into this still could not be OpenBSD) and you can install OpenBSD as a DomU. I know very little, apart from having been curious once. If you want to know more, you probably really should talk to Christoph Egger, who did the actual porting work. Thanks and regards, --ropers
