page fault trap installing NetBSD 5.0.1



Please Cc me on replies.

If this is already covered, please point me to it. I am not sure if I am 
using the correct list as I don't know Xen. (I have used remotely hosted 
NetBSD systems running on Xen but I never installed them.)

I am trying to install using the amd64cd-5.0.1.iso 

I don't want to install a Xen server. (As you can tell, I don't know the 
terminology.) There is already a Debian Linux server with Linux 
2.6.26-1-xen-amd64 kernel running xenwatch, xenbus, xenrestored, xend, 
xenconsoled, and many qemu-dm processes. I think that is xen-3.2-1. (It 
is hosting OpenSolaris, OpenBSD, Windows, Debian, and others.)

I don't know Xen and I installed by logging into the Debian system and 
running:

        lvcreate -n netbsd-5-amd64-1 -L 8G virt2

I downloaded the NetBSD amd64cd-5.0.1.iso image.

I setup a /etc/xen/vm/base/netbsd-5-amd64-1 file. If you need to see 
this, let me know.

I ran:

        xm create /etc/xen/vm/base/netbsd-5-amd64-1 

A qemu-dm process was started. I setup some SSH tunnels and connected to 
it with vncviewer. It showed the NetBSD 5.0.1 installer. I went through 
the many steps and it formatted its (virtual) wd0.

But when it got to the untar step in sysinst (extracting 
kern-GENERIC.tgz), it aborted with:

kernel: page fault trap, code=0
Stopped in pid 0.4 (system) at  0xffffffff804f163e:    repe insl

?() at 0xffffffff80105a4f
Bad frame pointer: 0xffff800001215ac40

Any ideas how I can troubleshoot this further?

Or am I doing this wrong?

(By the way, my goal is to install NetBSD/amd64 5.x so I can build some 
pkgsrc packages for X11_TYPE=modular. I will be glad to share these by 
uploading to the NetBSD ftp.)
