However, my question is what would happen if I add more memory to the machine. I.e. if I boost it to 8GB would I still only get 3.25GB for Xen or would I get 7.25GB not having to bother about the hole in the middle?NetBSD/Xen is still 32bits, so it's limited to 4GB.
Hosting providers want to run NetBSD XenUs on either 32-bit PAE or 64-bit Xen Dom0s; quite often, it doesn't make much sense to split up a box with less than 4GB ram.
Are there plans to make NetBSD-xen work on 64-bit platforms?alternately, I have read the 32-PAE on 64 support for Xen 3.0.5 is supposed to be nice; any word if that will support 32 non-PAE guests? that would be good enough for me.
