Re: SOLVED: Installing FreeBSD 8 as domU

[Dustin Marquess <dmarquess%gmail.com@localhost>]

From memory on the dom0 you just remove all traces of 'ioemu' from the
config file.

On the domU side, you compile/install a kernel using the XENHVM config file.

I remember the ethernet interfaces change names, but I don't remember
what the new name is, sorry.
