Thanks for the explanation Manuel. Some more problems though...
I have my first 3.1RC2 candidate running, nothing special. Strictly 
minimal install, no games, X11 on 10GB LVM for xbd0a. Everything is on 
separated slice inside of the block device 1GB /home, 4GB /usr, 512M /, 
2Gb /var, 2GB /tmp,  1GB swap and 64M for mfs.

I followed the howto from wiki.xensource.com and copied across the xbd* 
and rxbd* devices after install as suggested.

Now after I boot the VM in (using the netbsd-XEN3_DOMU kernel now) I can 
log in but the VM stops responding after round about 5 minutes. Whatever 
I do it happens after 5 min no excuse.

On another console logged into the dom0 xm top shows that the allocated 
512M is being chewed up, the CPU is 100%. Because of this my desktop is 
also becoming non responsive and starts swapping like nuts. Obviously I 
log into the dom0 via ssh and start the VM from there but it should not 
be an issue I suppose.

Any idea what is causing it? I just simply can't finish editing my 
rc.conf...

Thanks
Ivan
