I imagine the error is just a "command not found error" - it's not a normal
Xend error.

Yes, basically. (They're bound to a loop device but not actually mounted).

Ah, great. I thought it probably wouldn't work on BSD :-) I did wonder what
the NetBSD guys had done about it.

Thanks for the patch. We should get it merged once you can confirm
everything's working as expected!

The "uname" format is the {file,phy,nbd}:/{path}:{other stuff} form we use to
describe the "source device" in dom0.
The "segment not found" message suggests that the device node output from the
block script was not found in /dev. That's probably because you're stripping
off the "/dev" prefix in order to fit with the BSD command syntax. Xend
probably needs the full path in order to find the device node - if you
prepend /dev to the name of the device before the script echos it then it
should work.
If you can get this working, then a patch would be very welcome.
Cheers,
Mark
