now, I'm running a Debian dom0 and a NetBSD3.1-rc2 domU.  Of course, the 
xen and the hardware is dual cpu;   I put nosmp in the root= line on the 
domU config file.  It seems to work,  a nosmp NetBSD domu with a SMP 
debian dom0.  I'd be interested in the details of how the smp/nosmp nature 
of the xen kernel and the dom0 effect the domU, if anyone has information 
or links.
