Details

Summary

There is no emulators/xen package anymore, the port was split into emulators/xen-kernel and sysutils/xen-tools packages. Rewrite the handbook to cover recommended versions for FreeBSD 11 and CURRENT.

While here, dom0=pvh should be used instead of dom0pvh=1, so reflect that in the command line example, too.

Test Plan
  1. Apply the patch.
  2. Build the handbook.
  3. View the resulting Xen chapter.

Event Timeline

Thanks! LGTM, just one minor issue with the command line because we need to use dom0pvh=1 when using the xen47 packages and dom0=pvh when using the xen411 packages.

1483 ↗(On Diff #46283)

The above line is correct when using the xen411 packages, but when using the old 4.7 packages dom0pvh=1 must be used.

Split the command into a section for the old Xen 4.7 dom0pvh=1 as well.

Thanks, that look great!
