Re: [Xen-devel] Xen and Openbsd

["Mark A. Williamson" <mark.williamson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

A good place to start would be the Xen 2.0 Interface Manual (it's in the 
source tree and possibly on the website).  There's also a howto somewhere in 
the source tree about how the virtual device drivers work.

The *frontend* device drivers in the Linux and NetBSD trees are BSD-licensed 
and have been used as templates in other ports, so you can use those for your 
work.  There's various other stuff in the Linux port that's BSD licensed, tho 
I can't remember exactly what...

The xen-devel mailing list gives support to OS porters whenever required.

HTH,
Mark
