Really? I remember giving the NetBSD talk at Usenix in 2004 in Boston,
which included a mention of Xen. In NetBSD terms, this would be 2.0F
or 2.0G timeframe, just after NetBSD got ffs internal snapshots, and
before a fix for fss(4), which had been added in February 2004.

The domU xen1 port was in 2.0, and the XEN0 kernel config file in the
attic has a netbsd-3-base cvs tag.
