Hi. Ran thru the instructions in = https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/virtualization-host-xen.html. It did specify FreeBSD 11, not 12, so I assumed that bey now, Xen 4.11 = could be used. Perhaps that was my mistake. Made all the changes as suggested. On reboot, I get: "failed to load = kernel /boot/xen". There does not appear to be any menu-based means to disable the Xen = choice, despite the /boot/menu.rc.local including the xen.4th file. I am able to recover by doing "unset xen_kernel" then "boot". However, = no Xen kernel. If this supposed to work? I am running on an HP Z8 G4 with IOMMU enabled and 64MB memory. I just blew away a Qubes-OS install as it was a bit too flakey and I was = hoping FreeBSD would serve as a dom0. It was running Xen and domU = kernels fine. I note the /boot/xen is 32-bit, whereas /boot/kernel/lkernel is 64 bit. = Does this matter?
