Trying to start.. not working out



Hello,

Trying to setup Xen using NetBSD as dom0.

Trying being the operative word..

from the howto:

http://www.netbsd.org/ports/xen/howto.html

"First do a NetBSD/i386 or NetBSD/amd64 installation of the 4.0 release (or newer: for Xen3 amd64 you'll need NetBSD-current from December 2007 or newer) as you usually do on x86 hardware."

(/me checks)
# uname -mrns
NetBSD XenServer 4.0.1 amd64

"Next step is to install the sysutils/grub.."

(/me checks)
ERROR: grub-0.97nb8 is not available for NetBSD-4.0.1-x86_64

(/me reads more)
!wait!

"On amd64 it's a bit tricky, because grub will definitively not build as a 64bit binary. First install emulators/netbsd32_compat40,... "

(/me checks)
ERROR: netbsd32_compat40-4.0 is not available for NetBSD-4.0.1-x86_64


*sigh*

So if I wanted to run Xen and NetBSD as my dom0.. what do I have to do?

Looks like things have changed since May 2008 when that howto was written..

Thanks in advance
