The problem was I was using an old version of netbsd-current. After
installing one of the daily snapshots, almost everything seems to work. 

Now I am using:

NetBSD xen 3.99.7 NetBSD 3.99.7 (XEN0) #0: Wed Jul  6

as a domain0.

This is the hard drive partition table:

0: NetBSD (sysid 169)
    bootmenu: Read
    start 63, size 8193087 (4001 MB, Cyls 0/1/1-510), Active
        beg: cylinder    0, head   1, sector  1
        end: cylinder  509, head 254, sector 63
1: NetBSD (sysid 169)
    bootmenu: or
    start 8194048, size 20481977 (10001 MB, Cyls 510/14/17-1785)
        beg: cylinder  510, head  14, sector 17
        end: cylinder 1023, head 254, sector 63

And this is the disklabel in the first partition:

 a:   7929936        63     4.2BSD   2048 16384 28872  # (Cyl.      0*-
7867*)
 b:    263151   7929999       swap                     # (Cyl.   7867*-
8128*)
 c:   8193087        63     unused      0     0        # (Cyl.      0*-
8128*)
 d:  78165360         0     unused      0     0        # (Cyl.      0 -
77544)
 e:  20481977   8194048     4.2BSD    512  4096 22640  # (Cyl.   8129*-
28448*)

And this is the config file for DOMU:

kernel = "/netbsd-XENU"
memory = 32
name = "nbsd"
cpu = -1
nics=0
disk = [ 'phy:/dev/cd0a,cd0a,r', 'phy:/dev/wd0e,wd0d,w' ]
root = "/dev/wd0d"

When I start the new domain, it stops at:

xbd: using event channel 4
xbd0 at hypervisor0: Xen Virtual Block Device 10000 MB
xbd1 at hypervisor0: Xen Virtual Block Device 195 MB

Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong here?

Thanks,

David
