Doing it the dirty way ;-)
- setup Xen on Debian Linux box, notice existing NetBSD (native) box
sitting peacefully in a corner,
- prepare DomU for NetBSD,
- create tar-archive of entire filesystem from existing NetBSD box,
- put ext2 on DomU "disk" (in this case: an LVM logical volume
masquerading as a partition of a SCSI disk) for NetBSD,
- unpack tar archive there,
- make necessary changes to NetBSD config (single /, no swap, ext2
as root FS),
- provide second "disk" for NetBSD domU,
- boot NetBSD DomU with ext2 as root fs - while this is "not recommended",
it works,
- inside NetBSD DomU, prepare the second "disk" for NetBSD the
proper way (fdisk, disklabel, put FFS where needed),
- copy NetBSD system over to second "disk", make necessary changes to
config,
- shutdown NetBSD DomU,
- reconfigure DomU: remove first "disk", move second "disk" into
its place,
- boot up NetBSD DomU again,
- voila! - you now have a NetBSD domU running with a Debian dom0

Alex.
