I don't have com0 defined in my XEN2 Dom 0. My entire Dom 0 works
through the serial port with just this in the grub config:
default=0
timeout=10
serial --unit=0 --speed=115200 --word=8 --parity=no --stop=1
terminal --timeout=10 serial console
title Xen 2.0 / NetBSD (serial)
root(hd0,0)
kernel (hd0,a)/xen.gz dom0_mem=73728 com1=115200,8n1
module (hd0,a)/netbsd-XEN0 ro console=ttyS0
... and of course the following in my ttys file:
console "/usr/libexec/getty std.115200" vt100 on secure
