Mark and Mats,

Thank for your answers.

My current task is to run as many as possible different operating systems
in the same Xen domain 0 on the same machine (HVM-capable machine).

Better to run them inside domUs, but if this impossible
may be I could run qeumu+kquemu  processes inside dom0
(and operating system on them)?

As far as I know there are problems in running of some 
legacy operating systems in domU (HVM).


I have personally faced problem with (unmodified) FreeBSD 5 (and 6) 
running in the Xen HVM domU (this problem have discussed here; as
far as I remember the problem is related to real mode loader).

But I need not only FreeBSD but several other legacy operating
systems.

Of course, I'm not sure, that this systems will run in quemu, 
but I want to try.
