hello,
since a few weeks i try to install xen on NetBSD 2.0, 2.0.2 and 3.0 beta.
The first steps seem to be passed successfully. From the grub menu i
select the domain0 and it start.
The steps i have done are based on the documentation at
http://www.netbsd.org/Ports/xen/howto.html.
First i did use the NetBSD versions 2.0 and 2.0.2 because i did not
found the neccessary files for NetBSD 2.0_C4 like
written in
http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/Research/SRG/netos/xen/downloads/NetBSD/NetBSD-2.0_RC4/xen-i386/INSTALL.html.
I did contact Christian Limpach because of my problem. His suggestion
was that the MAKEDEV script i did use doesn't know
about the xen entries, at least not when i ask for it to create the
"xen" devices. He was right. In NetBSD 2.0 and 2.0.2 the
MAKEDEV script really don't know about. The first time i did found the
necessary entries unter NetBSD 3 beta.
Here is my main problem: the execution of "xend start" don't really work.
At the /var/log/xend-debug.log i found the following entry:
"*/etc/xen/scripts/network: not found*"
I did not wondering about because there is no xen directory under /etc
after the port-installation of xentools 2.0.
Do you have an idea what i did wrong? Or what i can do to have a bit
more success?
Here is a list of the steps i had done:
> Download of the newest pkgsrc (pkgsrc.tar.gz about 26 MB)
(It was allways a new NetBSD-Installation so i did not have the
/usr/pkgsrc folder)
> unpack the file pkgsrc.tar.gz: tar -xzvpf pkgsrc.tar.gz -C /usr
> Package Collection Update.
command: cd /usr/pkgsrc/pkgtools/pkg_install
command: make install
> Installation of the xentools20
command: cd /usr/pkgsrc/sysutils/xentools20
command: make install
> Installation of grub
command: cd /usr/pkgsrc/sysutils/grub
command: make install
> configuring the /grub/menu.lst nearly like the example
here are my entrys (for grub and NetBSD 2.0):

Well. The reboot was fine. The domain0 did start. There was just a
message which said:
"/etc/rc: WARNING: $xend is not set properly - see rc.conf(5)" a short
time befor login prompt.
I do not understand what i should configure in /etc/rc.conf. The entry
powerd is set to YES.
Also i do not know what i have to do get the xen directory under /etc.
I did study a lot of documentations but did not found a answer.
Do you have got an idea?
It would be great. Thanks a lot.
