Yes, but the stock ELF loader from the xen kernel won't load the NetBSD symbol
table. This has been fixed in xen-2.0-testing (thanks to yamt@ who posted a
patch here, and Christian who commited it to xen), but is not yet in any
xen2 release.
pseudo-device ksym is already in XEN0, so booting with a fixed /xen.gz
kernel (built from -testing, or the 2.0.5 one I've uploaded to NetBSD/arch/xen/
yesterday) should fix it too.
