Hi,
Is there any way of booting FreeBSD 10.x as HVM under Xen?
I've tried removing,
options XENHVM
device xenpci
>From the kernel - but this just panics on boot now.
<https://wiki.freebsd.org/FreeBSD/XenNG> seems to suggest you can no longer
boot 10 under Xen as HVM?
If I can't boot HVM, I can't get HVM network support (i.e. Realtek) - and I
can't get that, all the VM's I have to run as HVM due to a number of
xen/freebsd/network oddities can't be 10.x machines :(
This is painting those roles/systems into non-agile HVM 9.x boxes that have
no upgrade path now :(
Unless there's a workaround to ditch xn and replace it with re and / or
boot HVM under FreeBSD 10?
