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).

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.
