 } The NetBSD 6.0 release announcement mentions new Xen features such as
 } DomU MP support, but when I go to http://www.netbsd.org/ports/xen/howto.html,
 } there is no mention of 6.0 at all.
 } 
 } A user following the instructions on that page will end up installing
 } NetBSD 5.0 (not even 5.1) - is that really the recommended release?
 
      One, can use a variety of different versions of NetBSD in a DomU,
 so obviously, one would need to adjust the instructions for the version
 they want to use.
 
      As for, 6.0 it will be SMP out of the box assuming, you assign
 multiple vcpus to the DomU.
 
      However, the instructions could probably be more clear about these
 items.

 } Read http://www.netbsd.org/ports/xen/howto.html.  Notice absence of
 } references to NetBSD 6.0.

 } Please.
