When I try to start the domU for installing NetBSD I get:

xm create NetBSD-starter.cfg -c
Using config file "NetBSD-starter.cfg".
Error: Error creating domain: vbd: Device not found: wd0d

I assume you don't have /dev/wd0d in your Linux filesystem...
No, as I understand it, the line
       "phy:/dev/LVMvg01/NetBSDTest-boot,wd0d,w"
means
"mount the Linux filesystem /dev/LVMvg... into the NetBSD-domU as wd0d".

And the line "root = "/dev/wd0d"" describes the view of the domU (= NetBSD), not of the Linux filesystem (at least it does when I start my Linux domUs) like this:

disk=['phy:/dev/LVMvg01/webstatown01-boot,sda1,w' ...]
root="/dev/sda1 ro"

In this case the given root filesystem is on the block device that is seen from the domU (sda1).

Look at http://www.netbsd.org/Ports/xen/howto.html and see "Creating
Linux unprivileged domains" for instructions how to use hexadecimal
numbers instead of wd0d.
I did not understand that part at all because I do not need hexadecimal numbers with Linux filesystems (at least I never have until now).

Thanks for your help.

Dirk
