Hi Lukas,

> [...] I don't know whether there is support for Xen Dom0 on FreeBSD.

Unfortunately there isn't.=20

> I read that NetBSD support Xen Dom0 [...]

I haven't tried myself, but apparently NetBSD works rather well as Dom0. =
That has long been on my list of things to test, though :)

Not sure if you are aware of it, but in order to run FreeBSD as DomU, =
you don't need FreeBSD or NetBSD as Dom0. That works just as well on =
your Debian Dom0. (With FreeBSD's known limitations as DomU, namely =
memory and architecture depending on PV or HVM virtualisation)


Cheers
