Hello, It's possible to run NetBSD/xen in the DomUs of many hosting providers which disavow any NetBSD support. I've added mount_ext2fs and newfs_ext2fs to my installation ramdisk to create and mount the disklabel slice where pv-grub looks to find its configuration file and kernels. Yes, pv-grub does have some ffs support, but it doesn't seem to able to cope with filesystems created with -O2 (I was going to write UFS2, but the whole ffs2 vs ufs2 nomenclature and taxonomy confuses me). At any rate, this is an extremely simple change that makes life easier. Can we do it? Regards, --Blair
