[Xen-users] Installing NetBSD

["Joris Dobbelsteen" <Joris@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear,

I'm trying to get NetBSD to boot on my Xen installation. However I seem
to have a lot of trouble getting NetBSD DomU (amd64) to boot on the
system, which is very unfortunate. I did get the installer to run and it
did what I expected from it.

What is the thing I'm missing? 
I believe I'm doing something wrong at the root or extra parameters.
The very ood thing is that I'm passing "wd0d", while the kernel says
"xbd0".

Does anyone have a working installation?
I would also value an xen-config & domU files of any working
installation of netbsd (amd64).

Thanks,

- Joris

Host system:
Core 2 Duo E6750
Gentoo 2007.0 with Xen 3.1.2
Arch: AMD64

For NetBSD I used the 200712260002Z snapshot.
