Hello all.

I sucessfully installed xen in Linux. dom0 boots ok, there is a NetBSD
installation in /dev/sda2 that I want to use as domU.

My configure file is:

# $Id$

kernel = "/boot/netbsd-XEN3PAE_DOMU-200801280002Z"
memory = 832
name = "mist"
vif = [ 'mac=aa:00:00:00:00:11']
disk = [ 'phy:/dev/sda2,sda,w' ]

It boots fine, but it asks for the root filesystem. I just have to pass the
root= option that I forget to put here.

Then, I type "xbd0d" and NetBSD boots ok in single user mode. Then I cannot
mount other partitions (that are inside the big NetBSD slice). xbd0* and sda*
don't work.

I'm new to Xen and my question is if I have to pass a different configuration
to the disk= option. I found two messages in the list try to address the
problem:

http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-users/2006-12/msg00499.html
http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-users/2007-07/msg00590.html

The first didn't get answer (a very similar problem) and the other tries to
address a fairly different problem.

Thank you very much!
