I currently have one guest domain that is happily running in another 
30-40MB of RAM. (Repartitioned my drive, so I'm trying to untar gentoo 
stage3 and portage.)
All filesystems are currently living on standard extended partitions of 
a SCSI harddrive.
I do not have NFS(or hardly any other apps) running in dom0.

Now it appears that sshd has locked up or was killed so I can no longer 
connect to the instance from here. I'll have to sit down at the machine 
later tonight to do any more debugging. (I had Xen kill something 
important in dom0 one time that broke my whole access to the console and 
ssh of dom0.)
