You can use Christoph Egger's OpenBSD/Xen port. No need to go
HVM-only. Unfortunately, my own website is down right now and I
haven't gotten around to fixing that, but the Wayback Machine has the
relevant page:
http://web.archive.org/web/20070403174105/http://ropersonline.com/openbsd/xen/
Also, search the misc archives. This question crops up fairly
regularly. and each time most people don't seem to know of Christoph
Egger's port (and each time I then try to tell people about it again
-- if I catch the message, but I don't always do and sometimes things
fall through the cracks here).
Thanks and regards,

OpenBSD as DomU works using hardware virtualization for me. There's
the occasional lockup that I haven't looked into too much. You can
launch vncviewer to get a console. My working config is at the bottom.

I found that setting the vif interface to 'model=ne2k_pci' helps with
the timeouts.

Anyone any success running stable OpenBSD (FreeBSD would also
suffice)
as domU in a Xen system? If so, willing to share config / how-to /
experience?

Here's a working Xen config:

if re.search('64', arch):
arch_libdir = 'lib64'

device_model = '/usr/' + arch_libdir + '/xen/bin/qemu-dm'

I'm trying to use Christopher's work, but I get the following errors
when i try to make depend a xenU kernel:
In file included from
/usr/src/openbsd-xen-sys.hg/arch/xen/i386/machdep.c:129:

machine/isa_machdep.h: No such file or directory
It does complete, though. But when i try to make the kernel, I get
*lots* of errors, starting with these:

....
(and many more not in this file only, but also in vector.s, spl.s,
mutex.S)
Anyone any hints? Is it meant to be run on -current (I see the last
changes in the hg are from 8 months ago, but...)? Or do I need to
compile it under an i386 kernel (I'm currently trying with an amd64 one)?
# uname -a
OpenBSD border2.net1.cc 4.2 GENERIC.MP#1 amd64
Any help MUCH appreciated!
Kind regards,
Doichin
Guess that counts for cross-compilings, so the answer is yes - i need an
i386 kernel to compile this. Sorry for the fuzz...
