Well, the canonical way to debug Xen is via the serial console. If you don't
have a legacy serial port it won't be easy. You could try to pass
noreboot to xen.gz on the command line. You could also try vga=keep (never
tried this one; maybe you have to tell console=ttyS0 to the netbsd/Xen kernel
when using vga=keep).

What kind of system is it ? Maybe it's documented to have issues with e.g.
memory regions exported by BIOS. If so, you can also try to play with
mem=xxx on the Xen command line (see

for details)
