I'm not sure entropy-file will work with a Xen dom0 kernel (this is new, I've not had time to play with it yet).

I've made this change. It loads the kernel first and then the entropy file. Boot log at: http://bobdbob.com/~jdbaker/nbsd-debug/boot-squash-XEN4-almost.txt It now loads and starts the dom0 kernel. Looks like ACPIVERBOSE is compiled in. It gets down to enumerating USB hubs and seems to be stuck there, or at least produces no further output (expecting the 'Enter path to command interpreter or return for "sh"' message). I pressed the power switch. Seems Xen only stops the dom0 kernel, but doesn't power the hardware off. So I held it down and rebooted a normal kernel. Now rebuilding following the latest updates. I'll try again when done--with and without the "rndseed" command. That's progress, at least. -- |/"\ John D.
