xen3 domU support has been merged to the netbsd-3 branch according to
netbsd.org.  So I went to netbsd-daily
(.../NetBSD-daily/netbsd-3/200606090000Z/i386/binary/), fetched the bits and tried to boot the installer kernel. Didn't work. Any idea what I'm
doing wrong?

You can't run a debug build of Xen because we steal bit 11 of PTEs to indicate grant-table mappings. But that bit is actually used by NetBSD.

It might be time to remove that debugging, or at least not make it dependent on debug=y.
