Just to clarify, if I want to use the full 6GB of RAM the machine has, 
and divvy it up between various domU's (xen aware or otherwise) and I 
want to use NetBSD, I need to use NetBSD-current i386 or NetBSD-current 
amd64, nothing else in the NetBSD world will do this?

If I'm happy to just use 4GB (really 3 after losses from the dom0 etc) I 
can do this with NetBSD 4.0 i386 and/or NetBSD 4.0 amd64 as the dom0?

Is that a correct summary at this time?
