The FBSD7 32bit x86 ISO plays along fine with that config.  You'll need a version of Xen 3.2.0 or better, compiled with "vmxassist=n".  As for a prebuilt FS, I'm not aware of anyone who offers this (or why you couldn't make your own, once you have a working HVM of FBSD7).

Great!  Thank you!

Can you tell me where I might find a pre-build barebones filesystem and
kernel that plays nice with the below config?

Cheers,

C.J.
