I'm just checking whether someone has had success in running
OpenBSD 3.9 or 4.0/i386 on Xen 3 with HVM.

I tried to run it on an AMD Athlon 64 3000+ (with svm) box,
but I ran into a problem - the virtual disk could not be
formatted with 4.2BSD UFS. newfs fails with a message about
wrong number of cylinders in group (I can post the exact error
if someone is interrested).

I tried this too, but haven't even reached that point yet, because the screen output in the Xen/virtual console during the installation process doesn't work the way it should - characters are displayed but not deleted from the screen when the display ist scrolling, so the screen is always completely filled with characters. This is so annoying that I gave up... Did you encounter this problem too? How did you solve it? Would you please send your domains config file?
Thanks!

Regards
Christoph
