OK.. nice! I think this is missing from the docs..

hmm.. xda is used in the example-configuration.. 

http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/Research/SRG/netos/xen/downloads/xen-2.0-install.tgz
 
in install/etc/xen/xmexample1

btw. Is there any way to give more memory than the physical memory to
domains?

Say, I have 512 MB of physical RAM in the box, is it possible to create 4
domains each seeing 256 MB of RAM?

I guess no. This should be mentioned in the FAQ and in the docs.. I didn't
find answer to this question.

Thanks for your help! Xen 2 looks very good.
