Hi,
1) There is a problem during xen kernel link

This problem is xen/arch/x86/boot/
build32.mk calls ld with:
-Ttext $(RELOC) -o
RELOC is set in xen/arch/x86/boot/Makefile to $(BOOT_TRAMPOLINE), which is also set in that file:
BOOT_TRAMPOLINE := $(shell sed -n 's,^\#define[[:space:]]\+BOOT_TRAMPOLINE[[:space:]]\+,,p' $(BASEDIR)/include/asm-x86/config.h)
NetBSD's core 'sed' doesn't seem to like that. Using gsed seems to work.
So there's 3 fixes:
1) Change sed to gsed and make gsed a requirement (seems icky)
2) Hard-code BOOT_TRAMPOLINE to 0x88000 (seems ickier)
3) Fix the sed invocation to make it core NetBSD sed friendly. This seems like the right solution, but beyond my sed knowledge. Any takers?
