NetBSD on Linode problems

[Michael Parson <mparson%bl.org@localhost>]

I'm trying to get NetBSD installed on a Linode (Xen) VM following the
instructions on this Wiki page:

http://www.linode.com/wiki/index.php/NetBSD_Howto

Networking works under the Finnix image, I am able to to use wget to
download the files needed, but when I boot the NetBSD installer images,
I am unable to get networking to work under NetBSD. I have tried both
32&64 bit kernels (under 32 & 64bit pv_grub). If I try and let it get
networking via DHCP, it doesn't get a response, if I use hard-coded
values, no traffic gets passed.

I can ping my own IP from within the booted image:

# ping -n -c3 50.116.26.109
PING 50.116.26.109 (50.116.26.109): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 50.116.26.109: icmp_seq=0 ttl=255 time=0.045 ms

64 bytes from 50.116.26.109: icmp_seq=2 ttl=255 time=0.056 ms


But I can't ping my default route:

# ping -n -c3 50.116.26.1
PING 50.116.26.1 (50.116.26.1): 56 data bytes

ping: sendto: Host is down

Does anyone have any suggestions?
