The question is (almost) meaningless - Xen just doesn't work like that. The host system *is* Xen -- it's more like vmware esx than vmware workstation. The closest it comes to having a full OS as a "host" is that there are some guests (by default, the one running in domain0) that are privileged and can run some userspace admin tools (to create and start new domains, set and monitor resource usage, etc). I don't know much about it, but I imagine there'd be no particular problem building these tools on NetBSD. Do they need any special support from the guest os in domain0, such as special syscalls to pass through to Xen? -- Dan.
