} I get in /var/log/messages:
} Dec 29 18:39:10 pkgbuild-DOM0 /netbsd: xvif1i0: Ethernet address
} 00:16:3e:31:30:61
} Dec 29 18:39:11 pkgbuild-DOM0 /netbsd: xbd backend domain 1 handle 0xca00
} (51712) using event channel 19, protocol x86_64-abi
} 
} with the config being:
} kernel = "/home/sets/amd64-nb7/netbsd-XEN3_DOMU.gz"
} memory = 8192
} name = "amd64-nb7"
} vcpus = 3
} cpus = [ "13", "14", "15" ]
} vif = [ 'mac=00:16:3e:30:30:61, bridge=bridge0' ]
} disk = [ '/dev/sd0k,raw,xvda,rw' ]

     I tried a test using a modified version of this config.  Most
importantly, the disk line looks like:  disk = [ '/dev/ld1e,raw,xvda,rw' ]
I.E. the only thing changed in that line is the device.  The Xen
version is:

STAvoipVM01# pkg_info -e xenkernel45
xenkernel45-4.5.1
STAvoipVM01# pkg_info -e xentools45
xentools45-4.5.1nb5

This setup worked perfectly, thus demonstrating that one can use
a device with Xen 4.5 (this is as expected, since there is little
between ld/sd/etc. and lvm).

     We need to see the contents of /var/log/xen/xl-amd64-nb7.log .
