Hello, I need to export one of my pci nics to a guest domain. I understand I need to hide the interface from dom0 first - Can someone help me how I can accomplish this? The manual refers to recompiling kernel with PCI Frontend/Backend - how can this be done on netbsd? I know bus/dev/func combination - whats the proper way to put that into domain config? pci = [ ''maj:min.func'' ] fails.

PCI driver domain support should be available for Linux in the upcoming Xen 3.0.2 release and is currently available in the xen-unstable tree.

Hm, how about XEN 2.x ? I saw people post that they were able to accomlish that? Does it imply they used linux rather than bsd machines? Do you know of any xen version / os distro that at the moment gives the ability to hide/expose devices?

Since you mentioned the PCI Frontend/Backend documentation, I assumed you meant the Xen 3.0.x series (since that is in the documentation labeled Xen 3.0.x, there is separate documentation for Xen 2.0.x).
