I don't get the Xen boot messages. Just tried xen-debug.gz and again I just
see loading, and then a reboot. I don't think it gets as far xen*.gz.

boot.cfg contains:

menu=Boot Xen:rndseed /var/db/entropy-file;consdev com0,57600;load /netbsd-XEN3_
DOM0 console=com1 com1=57600,8n1,0x3f8;multiboot /xen-debug.gz dom0_mem=1024M

[Any one know how to avoid "Collecting System Inventory ..." so booting
doesn't take forever?]
