I have downloaded both the qcow and bootable ISO images and atempted the fragments of information I have found in discussion thread over days of Googling. Is this just not something people do? In this virtual world? I have just joined a start-up company as the first IT person and a blank canvas, and was hoping to introduce some FreeBSD systems. Is there no known procedure for doing this? I can boot neither the qcow or ISO images, getting a mixture between "Invalid option" (I think that's the type/loader/builder options people say I need in the domU.cfg, or the closest I have been with the qcow image is: libxl: error: libxl_device.c:1391:libxl__wait_for_backend: Backend /local/domain/0/backend/qdisk/0/51728 not ready I have also seen this: [Errno 2] No such file or directory Error opening /usr/lib/xen-4.14/boot/hvmloader in guest Is that because I need to add something to the image? And the ISO netinst image just isn't bootable at all. I'm also a bit confused if I need pygrub or not? Is there no .cfg out there that is known to work on Debian? P.S. Just realised the image file for Xen is .vhd, but I am still stuck on how to do the .cfg file. I just get: "Neither kernel nor bootloader specified" None of people's configurations I have found have these, and if I set: kernel = "/usr/lib/xen-4.14/boot/hvmloader" I just get: xc: error: panic: xc_dom_core.c:692: xc_dom_find_loader: no loader found: Invalid kernel Thanks for any advice. --
