- What I'd really like is to see Xen Hypervisor console output on
- the screen. Or is there simply none at all?

Here's what I have on a little HP workstation, and I have used
on a Sun X2200M2 in the past:

    menu=Xen dom0:load /netbsd-XEN3_DOM0 console=pc;multiboot /xen.gz 
dom0_mem=2048M

Note the lack of any console definition on the xen kernel line.
This was last used with xenkernel42/xentools42 (currently the
system is running GENERIC, as it no longer needs to run a VM.)
