I had all sorts of hassle with a method similar to the bellow. Did get it working in the end but speed was poor. <100 M/bit . I have found best results with ioemu and E1000's speeds >650M/bit seem ok. Working on production in a few places with no hickup's. Netfront would be more ideal.

It already supports Xen though - just use virtio drivers :)
protip if you're running XenServer so need some hackery for virtio support:
cat /usr/lib64/xen/bin/qemu-dm #!/bin/bash oldstring=$@ newstring=$oldstring if [ `echo $oldstring | grep "c6:86:8a:96:9d:db\|0a:7e:be:4a:f3:34\|d2:c8:8d:6c:71:c3\|3a:74:3b:9c:26:5e" | wc -l` -gt 0 ]; then newstring=${oldstring//rtl8139/virtio} fi exec /usr/lib64/xen/bin/qemu-dm.orig $newstring
Just move original qemu-dm to qemu-dm.orig and then list one mac from each 'tik VM in the grep string :) Could go further and xe vm-param-list on the VM to see if the description or something contains Mikrotik or RouterOS or somesuch, but this works well for my static setup :)

No mention of Netfront/XEN :(

Can someone explain what CHR is all about? Why not just build a VM from the x86 ISO? Is there a fundamental difference I’m not understanding?

Hmmm, yes I have slowly come to that understanding as well :(.
Any idea of the costing of the CHR ?

Only on their "Cloud Hosted Router" builds...
The licencing is different and for now I believe it's rate limited to 1M/1M.
Other things like btest didn't work when I tested it.

Hi
Not that new release http://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=99531
but the key think I wanted to point out was
*) chr - added x86_64 image for use in virtual environments *) chr - added support for VMware SCSI virtual disks *) chr - added support for VMware vmxnet3 network card *) chr - added support for HyperV SCSI disks *) chr - added support for HyperV Ethernet interfaces *) chr - added support for virtio disks
Awesome ..... vmxnet3 drivers woo hoo, didn't think they would do this.
