I'm assuming I'd need to run current, but can I run an i386 or only amd64 DOMU?Your provider needs to run a fairly recent version of Xen so 32-on-64 works, and then you need to run --current (32-on-64 is acually 32-PAE on 64) you can run the 32-PAE images, or 64-bit DomU images - but either way, youneed to be on --current.That's true for PV guest. You can run NetBSD/i386 or NetBSD/amd64 as HVM guests. These don't need to be -current, but Xen must be very recent - 3.2.0 at minimum - or you miss necessary bugfixes, otherwise.
As a general suggestion, would you advise amd64-current or i386-current for a xen dom0 server with 6GB of RAM with HVM-aware cpu's to get the best of a modern Intel C2D server? Core2duo 8200 is hvm aware and I believe i386-cuurent is PAE capable also? There'd be little/no performance impact from using HVM?
