I don't know this CD. I guess the dom0 is a linux system ?
The NetBSD image probably has a disklabel and a FFS partition.
I guess you'll have to use a loopback device (the equivalent of NetBSD's
vnd(4)) to mount it, but I don't know how to do this with linux.
But if you create a domain with a NetBSD kernel and this image as
block device, it should boot and mount its root from xbd0a.
