 1) http://wiki.netbsd.org/ports/xen/howto/ has (last edited about 2 months =
 ago) installation of Xen procedure based on Xen 4.8
 2) I tried Xen 4.11 but my computer couldn't load Xen 4.11 kernel. I supose=
  Xen 4.11 is broken too.
 
 Xen needs two packages xenkernel and xentools. First I installed Xen 4.11 p=
 ackages and tried boot system with Xen but it failed.
 
 Then I decided to use Xen 4.8. On pkgsrc.se page was infromation that Xen 4=
 .8 is in wip but binary package for just kernel is in sysutils binary packa=
 ges.
 So I installed xenkernel48 with xentools411. Xen kernel started with some m=
 essages but I couldn't do other steps to run guests system. I found in Inte=
 rnet, that xentools411 does  not work with xenkernel48.
 
 I took a look at source packages and there are both xenkernel48 and xentool=
 s48. I tried to build binary packages and it failed.
 
 I have seen on pkgsrc.se page that xentools48 is not in wip cathegory today=
 . I know it's simply small mistake that Xen 4.8 was described in wip catheg=
 ory and source packages can't be build.
 
 But was Xen working on NetBSD at all anytime?
