3.7 Start of Day

The start-of-day environment for guest operating systems is rather different to that provided by the underlying hardware. In particular, the processor is already executing in protected mode with paging enabled.

Domain 0 is created and booted by Xen itself. For all subsequent domains, the analogue of the boot-loader is the domain builder, user-space software running in domain 0. The domain builder is responsible for building the initial page tables for a domain and loading its kernel image at the appropriate virtual address.
