Hi,

I was wondering if it is theoretically possible to port an 386
emulator (bochs for instance) to Xen and run an unported OS on top of
that emulator. Does an emulator running on top of Xen have to
implement all device drivers itself or can it simply let the host
access the hardware immediately?

Regards,
Leen Toelen
