I’ve just tested xen tools 4.2 on NetBSD 6.1.2 and it’s certainly working much 
better than the first time I tried 4.2. I can confirm that 1) loopback devices 
are created automatically for raw files on NetBSD and 2) when I force the use 
of qemu by using a qcow2 image, I do not get get the broken console 
configuration that I got in 4.1. Looks like xl in 4.1 was indeed doing 
something dumb and it got fixed.

Cheers,
Lloyd
