Hi Manuel,

first: thanks for your very quick response.

I just build it from pkgsrc (HEAD) on a amd64 machine. No "netbsd32_compat40" 
was needed. Funny enough I just realized that the grub binary itself is 32bit:

vmware03# pkg_info -L grub

BTW: cpus = -1 didn't work for me:

Using config file "/usr/pkg/etc/xen/nbsd".
Warning: The nics option is deprecated.  Please use an empty vif entry instead:

  vif = [ '' ]

Error: cpus = -1: invalid literal for int() with base 10: ''


Ok.. I'll have a look into the docs and try to send you a diff against the xml, 
although I have never used xml yet. ;)

Best regards and thanks for your effort,

  Torsten
