Hi !

I am not sure if anyone interested in this but I have NetBSD 3.0 release
running as a virtual server on an IBM X440(8 CPU and 32Gb RAM) on VMware
ESX server version 2.5.3(latest).

My settings were the following: 
- In ESX guest OS set for FreeBSD
- Used FFS2 for all partitions and created a separate /boot with FFS2
- the virtual disk is not recognised correctly so I set 63 and 255 for 
- used the vmxlsilogic adapter

The X440 is not connected to a SAN yet, so the NetBSD virtual disk is on
the local 36GB SCSI U160 RAID 1 drive.
SAN attachment happens in a few weeks.

Here is the vmx file for the virtual NetBSD server.
Can I also have some comments from people who run Xen in production for a
while now(good or bad) thanks.
