Not going to happen -- sorry :-) We're sticking with Linux (and UML) for now!
Thanks though!

http://wiki.freebsd.org/FreeBSD/Xen
FreeBSD runs on Xen. Pretty well, actually.
In fact, if one had access to the boot partition containing the Xen kernel and boot loader, one could easily self-bootstrap a Linode into FreeBSD.
Any chance you might be willing to help me change some boot parameters on a Xen Linode so that I can make a FreeBSD image? I'd be glad to share the image with other Linode users once it's ready. |
