This message was harmless, but whatever ...

no, it's the netbsd dom0 kernel, build from the XEN3_DOM0 config
file (the netbsd-XEN3_DOM0.gz file you probably downloaded from the
NetBSD ftp server).

No,
you do:


cd /usr/src
./build.sh tools kernel=XEN3_DOM0

this will gives you a netbsd file (the absolute path will be printed
by build.sh at the end) that you have to install in place of
the netbsd-XEN3_DOM0.gz file you downloaded.
