Help with grub bootloader?



Hi, folks!

I'm trying to install a XEN3 image in a hosted VPS (at prgmr.com if it matters). The instructions provided tell me to copy my NetBSD kernel files, create a "menu.lst" file for the bootloader, and then boot.

Everything works great until I actually try to boot the INSTALL kernel. I get the following error message:

  Booting 'NetBSD install'

root (hd0,0)
 Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83
kernel --type=netbsd /boot/netbsd-INSTALL_XEN3_DOMU

ERROR Invalid kernel: xc_dom_probe_bzimage_kernel: kernel is not a bzImage


The boot loader identifies itself as "GNU GRUB  version 0.97"


Thinking that maybe it wanted me to bzip2 the kernel, I tried that, but booting the .bz2 file gave me the same error.

Any suggestions?
