Hello all

What is the correct way to create vbd for netbsd 3 domU in netbsd 3.0.1


Tried:
dd if=/dev/zero of=filesystem/nbsd-disk bs=1k count=1
newfs  -s 6136830 -F filesystem/nbsd-disk

after installation started and I have setup partion sizes console says
    Command: disklabel -w -r -f /tmp/disktab xbd0 'Xen Virtual ESD'
     Hit enter to continue
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
disklabel: Invalid signature in mbr record 0

    Command: /sbin/newfs -O 1 -b 16384 -f 2048  /dev/rxbd0a
     Hit enter to continue
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
/dev/rxbd0a: 2496.0MB (5111808 sectors) block size 16384, fragment size 2048
        using 14 cylinder groups of 178.30MB, 11411 blks, 22400 inodes.
wtfs: write error for sector 5111807: Input/output error

after that I cant continue. So What I am doing wrong.

domU config for disks says:

disk = [ 'file:/xendoms/netbsdAntti/filesystem/nbsd-disk,0x1,w' ]
(tried with different ways)
