Hi all.

I'm just checking whether someone has had success in running
OpenBSD 3.9 or 4.0/i386 on Xen 3 with HVM.

I tried to run it on an AMD Athlon 64 3000+ (with svm) box,
but I ran into a problem - the virtual disk could not be
formatted with 4.2BSD UFS. newfs fails with a message about
wrong number of cylinders in group (I can post the exact error
if someone is interrested).

I tried to use a LVM2 partition, a file image and a mounted file
image as a disk for OpenBSD DomU.

Dom0 is running Fedora Core 6/i386 with Xen 3.0.3 rc1.

(There was also another issue with the network not functioning,
 but I'll dig into that if I manage to create and format a partition
 under OpenBSD.)

Regards,
