Hi Nicolas,

I'm currently in the process of installing pfSense on my Xen 4.0 box via 
virt-manager. If I use the IDE bus for the HDD, install is very slow. I 
orignally tried it with the SCSI bus, and it was fast, however the 
system woudn't boot from the drive.
I'm not sure if I can send you any config files, as I'm not sure where 
virt-mamanger saves them...
Thanks

J
