3- Now current problem... I couldn't fix.... I see "Xenbus

Nothing relevant from dmesg or xm dmesg when starting domU?
I used 0x301 instead od hda1 to fix this issue and still same. I also
tried mounting volume to /mnt first and then use root="/mnt ro" too.
xend.log shows:
This won't work. root="xxxx" is a parameter passed down to the
kernel's domU to make it aware of its root partition. It is domU
specific.
Well, another Q: Should i install linux under NetBSD? Is this must?
http://www.netbsd.org/ports/xen/howto.html says: "To install the
Linux system on the partition to be exported to the guest domain, the
following method can be used: install sysutils/e2fsprogs from pkgsrc.
Use mke2fs to format the partition that will be the root partition of
your Linux domain, and mount it. Then copy the files from a working
Linux system, make adjustments in etc (fstab, network config)."
It is a must. I don't know of any linux distributions out there that
provide "install from scratch" domU kernels.
Alas, installing a linux domU is not very practical once dom0 and domU
do not come from the same distribution.
