As suggested by Luke, I am raising this here. Has any work been done
along these lines to integrate more readily with the likes of Virtual
PC?

(http://www.i.u-tokyo.ac.jp/ss/msprojects/data/06-VirtualMachineArchitec

that allow a guest

program (see slide

I don't know.  Could you bring this up on port-i386@NetBSD.org ?

Cheers,
Luke.
