Well, okay.  I guess i'll try smaller.  2G was sufficient in the
past, though:

xen# df -h /
Filesystem    Size      Used     Avail Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/raid0a   1.9G      160M      1.7G     8%    /

Okay.  I saw this in the pkg_add output, and gave it a shot:

  title NetBSD (wd0)
    root (hd0,0,a)
    kernel /netbsd

and it seems to work fine as well.

Thanks.
