Dear,
I''m trying to get NetBSD to boot on my Xen installation. However I seem
to have a lot of trouble getting NetBSD DomU (amd64) to boot on the
system, which is very unfortunate. I did get the installer to run and it
did what I expected from it.
What is the thing I''m missing?
I believe I''m doing something wrong at the root or extra parameters.
The very ood thing is that I''m passing "wd0d", while the
kernel says
"xbd0".
Does anyone have a working installation?
I would also value an xen-config & domU files of any working
installation of netbsd (amd64).
Thanks,
- Joris
