(haven't heard about it > lately and google was not helpful either) It seems Xen on FreeBSD is dead or forgotten. 1 year ago Kip Macy anounces Xen support in 6.1, but it is still not there. Yuan Jue was working on Xen as Google Summer Of Code 2006 with this summary: "Successfully got a domU kernel usable for installation. dom0 support still in progress. Kip and Yuan Jue are continuing to work together on this project after the official end of SoC." http://www.yuanjue.net/xen/howto.html But half a year later, Xen is still not availabel on FreeBSD :(
