newsham can tell us more. But my inclination, given the spin rate of 3.0, 
is to go for 2.0 for proof-of-concept. After all, to get it working on 
3.0, you have to first finish the port of plan 9 to 3.0 ...


it's be nice to have a '#X' or something so:

bind '#X' /dev/xen
and then see /dev/xen/net0, /dev/xen/disk0, and so on, and then

disk/fdisk /dev/xen/disk0/data > /dev/xen/disk0/ctl

bind /dev/xen/net0 /net

and so on.

or maybe the bind would result in stuff like 
/dev/xennet0
/dev/xensd00

etc.

?

Does this sound right or I am way off base here.
