is able to load netbsd kernel. It didn't find root because I have no
complete netbsd setup on disk in question, only kernel. Here is console
log (grub_platform=xen):


                             GNU GRUB  version 2.00

   Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported. For the first word, TAB
   lists possible command completions. Anywhere else TAB lists possible
   device or file completions.
