- Yep, but NetBSD can be Xen dom0, I believe.

NetBSD provides a very functional XEN domain 0.  I run FreeBSD,
NetBSD and Linux PVM (para-virtualized machines) and FreeBSD and
Windows HVM (hardware virtualized machines) on my NetBSD dom0's.

- Please start from http://www.netbsd.org/ports/xen/howto.html , but
- this page might be obsolete.

It's slightly out of date, as GRUB is no longer required to boot
the dom0.  Otherwise, it is fairly accurate.

I would say the process is:
	Install NetBSD
	Install sysutils/xenkernel4 and sysutils/xentools4 from pkgsrc
	Install netbsd-XEN3_DOM0 into /
	Copy /usr/pkg/xen4-kernel/xen.gz to /
	Update /boot.cfg to load and boot /xen.gz, and load /netbsd-XEN3_DOM0
	Reboot

- Please advice me how to, if you can set it up !!

I'll be happy to answer questions.
