I don't understand that. All I can do is try and start more or less from
scratch in my environment.

I can say for sure that it works in my environment. It is inevitable
that I have some undocumented assumptions. If you have the spare cycles
to work with me, I'll do what I can, time permitting, to make it work in
yours.

I understand. I've dropped it several times in the past when things
simply required too much handholding to get working. From my experience,
*all* operating systems are perpetually in beta.

I've gotten a commitment from O'Brien to help me with getting the port
into FreeBSD's CVS. However, with the zillions of ports that he
maintains, I don't know how much time he is going to have - so it might
take a while.

Well, I'd like to see it work with all three trees (xen-2.0.bk,
xen-2.0-testing.bk, and xeno-unstable.bk). 2.0-testing just seems like a
good place to start.
