I assume you are referring to this as to why netbsd-5 didn't work:
http://mail-index.netbsd.org/netbsd-bugs/2011/03/19/msg021929.html

As a relatively n00bish Xen user, this wasn't obvious to me.  Also I
don't understand why it would be a dom0 issue when the fix is to get a
newer domU kernel.

Thanks.  I don't know how I missed that!  I'm also going to give HVM a
try.  I need to see what the trade-off is for having MP, but with
emulated IO.  I plan on using this install for NetBSD builds.
