Hi!

I can't boot NetBSD 3.1 DomU in my Debian Dom0.  It fails to find boot/root
device.

The configuration file is:

 $ cat /etc/xen/netbsd.kds.priv.cfg
kernel="/xen/dist/kernels/netbsd/netbsd-XEN3_DOMU"
extra="bootdev=/dev/wd0"
root = "/dev/wd0a"

memory='64'
name="netbsd.kds.priv"
dist = ['file:/xen/domains/netbsd.kds.priv/disk.img,0x3,w']

ip='10.0.2.17'
netmask='255.255.255.0'
gateway='10.0.2.2'

The DomU kernel was downloaded from
ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-3.1/i386/binary/kernel/netbsd-XEN3_DOMU.gz

The boot sequence is the following:

akhavr@dom0 dist/kernels/netbsd $ sudo xm create -c netbsd.kds.priv.cfg
Using config file "/etc/xen/netbsd.kds.priv.cfg".

Searching for RAID components...
boot device: <unknown>
root device:
use one of: raid0[a-p] raid1[a-p] raid2[a-p] raid3[a-p] raid4[a-p] raid5[a-p] 
raid6[a-p] raid7[a-p] ddb halt reboot
root device: % 

It doesn't depend on any extra="bootdev..." or root = "/dev/wd0a" values as
well on files line.  Actually it produced the same output when the root
image wasn't there.

Googling didn't produce anything helpful.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!
