  Wonderful!
  As I understand it, a domU with the 3.0.3 ABI is not going to run on a dom0
that uses the 3.0.2 ABI (such as an older FC5 install as the dom0).

  Is this correct?  Or is this ABI change just relating to the dom0 vs xend?

  I hope someone will post a screen shot. Alas, there isn't a lot in X-windows
that says "I'm running on NetBSD" vs "I'm running on Linux"...
