NetBSD crashes on 4 GB Supermicro



I'm having a problem running a NetBSD domU on one particular type of
system.

        SuperMicro PDSMI+ motherboard
        4 GB RAM (about 3.5 MB usable)
        Xen 3.0.3-0 (non-PAE, of course)
        dom0: Linux 2.6.16.29

Normally NetBSD will crash immediately upon startup on these systems.
Linux domUs work just fine. NetBSD also works fine on other 4GB systems.

The only way I can get NetBSD to work on these is if I tell Xen to
limit the RAM usage to 3G or less on the command line (mem=3072m).

That last 512MB or so may not seem like much, but without PAE support,
I'm trying to make use of every last available MB.

I have no idea how to debug a domU. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.
