Hello list-members,

i have installed the xen kernel (xenkernel20-2.0.7) on a netbsd 3.0 system and 
copied it to
root. Grub is installed and working. I have also compiled a GENERIC xen
kernel and copied it to /netbsd-xen0. (/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/conf/XEN0)

root@hydra > egrep -v "^#|^$" /grub/menu.lst  
default=2
timeout=10
title Xen 2.0 / NetBSD
root(hd0,0,a)
kernel (hd0,0,a)/xen.gz dom0_mem=65536 
module (hd0,0,a)/netbsd-xen0 root=/dev/hda1 ro console=tty0
title Xen 2.0 / NetBSD (backup)
root(hd0,0,a)
kernel (hd0,0,a)/xen.gz dom0_mem=65536
module (hd0,0,a)/netbsd-xen0.backup root=/dev/hda1 ro console=tty0
title NetBSD chain
root        (hd0,0,a)
chainloader +1

The netbsd kernel is getting loaded but stucks when it comes to the root
device. So there must be something that I have missed. 

root@hydra > mount
/dev/ld0a on / type ffs (local)
proteus:/fileservice on /fileservice type nfs
kernfs on /kern type kernfs (local)

root@hydra > cat /grub/device.map
(fd0) /dev/rfd0a
(hd0)   /dev/rld0d

I have tried chaning 

module (hd0,0,a)/netbsd-xen0 root=/dev/hda1 ro console=tty0

to 

module (hd0,0,a)/netbsd-xen0 root=/dev/ld0a ro console=tty0

and 

module (hd0,0,a)/netbsd-xen0 root(hd0,0,a) ro console=tty0

but none of them worked. Any hints on this?
