[Xen-users] OS X on Xen - Working!!!

[Luis Vinay <luisvinay@xxxxxxxxx>]

I finally was able to run Mac OSX (for intel) on the Xen of my laptop,
the OS X version that is working is "Mac OS X 10.4.10". At first it
didn't booted, but after modifying some options in the configuration
file I got it working (see below). Also let the dump of my 'xm info' and
what the OS X informs of the system is running

Cheers!
