Re: xenU install fails on newfs.

[John Hayward <John.C.Hayward%wheaton.edu@localhost>]

I'm no expert on Xen and NetBSD but I think the issue may be related
to the specification of root and index - Here is what you have:

====
> disk = [ 'file:/home/glen/img/netbsd.img,3,w','phy:/dev/cd0a,0x4,r' ]
> extra = ""
> root = "xbd0"
====

The following works for me:
====
disk = [ 'file:/Xen/fs/netbsd-4.0.1.fs,0x01,w', 
'file:/Xen/ISO/i386cd-4.0.1.iso,0x2,r' ]
# Set root device. This one does matter for NetBSD
#root = "/dev/wd0a"
#below for run
root = "xbd0a"
#below for install
#root = "xbd1d"
====

Note: for install I have root pointing to the "d" partition of the CD 
image which has index 2 and after install I have root pointing to the "a" 
partition of the disk image which has index 1.
