            Bug ID: 201787
           Summary: Better documentation for Xen domU support
           Product: Documentation
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: Documentation
          Assignee: freebsd-doc@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: freebsd@dckd.nl

FreeBSD has made some great strides in the last few years for Xen support.
Especially the addition of HVM into the kernel has made it a lot easier to run
FreeBSD on any Xen Dom0.

Documentation has never been the strong suit of the Xen project. Unfortunately,
the documentation on the FreeBSD side is also somewhat chaotic, and mostly
revolves around the wiki page.

I have some small texts already on how to configure Xen to create a working
FreeBSD DomU, and which options are available to you, how to deal with them,
etc.

Furthermore, there might for example be some places in the documentation where
you could add some references to specific Xen circumstances, e.g. the serial
console setup.

What is the best way to approach this?
