Side note: I can't comment on the availability of NetBSD for Xen 3.0.  But I 
think you'll find that Xen 2.0 will offer most of the features you'd want and 
work well with NetBSD.  If you want to run Linux (2.4 or 2.6), Plan 9 or 
FreeBSD, you won't be able to get such a recent kernel for Xen 2.0 (not much 
maintenance happens now the 3.0 work is so active) but it will still work.

You can upgrade to Xen 3.0 (which has loads of improvements and a few major 
extra features, e.g. smp guests) later on and your experience with Xen 2.0 
would help you with that.

Cheers,
Mark
