NetBSD 4.0 (as DOM0) with XEN 3

These are by no means outstanding documentation. This is simply notes I directed for myself to record my own installation for the purpose of future installations as well as debugging if I encounter errors.

1. Install NetBSD (4.0)
2. Configure network @ installation time
3. Reboot
4. Login

5. # useradd -m -G wheel dayid
   # passwd dayid
   # echo "132.170.239.1" > /etc/mygate
   # echo "nameserver 132.170.240.15
   nameserver 132.170.249.15" > /etc/resolv.conf
   # echo 'export PKG_PATH="ftp://ftp.NetBSD.org/pub/pkgsrc/packages/NetBSD-4.0/i386/All"' >> /root/.profile
   # pkg_add -v sudo
   # visudo
   

   (Add "dayid ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: SETENV: ALL")

   # pkg_add -v ../sysutils/grub
   # pkg_add -v wget python24 py24-xml py24-readline screen lynx
   # pkg_add -v ../sysutils/xentools3
   # pkg_add -v ../sysutils/xenkernel3
   # cd /dev && sh MAKEDEV xen
   # /usr/libexec/locate.updatedb 
   # locate xen.gz
   /usr/pkg/xen3-kernel/xen.gz
   # cp /usr/pkg/xen3-kernel/xen.gz /
   # cd /
   # mkdir grub
   # cp -p /usr/pkg/lib/grub/i386-/* /grub/
   # vi /grub/menu.lst #(copied from http://www.netbsd.org/ports/xen/howto.html)
   

   (the following 20080219 will change basd on the daily piece you grab from, best to navigate to ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD-daily and then go in depth from there):

   # wget ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD-daily/HEAD/200802190000Z/i386/binary/kernel/netbsd-XEN3_DOM0.gz 
   # gunzip netbsd-XEN3_DOM0.gz
   

   /grub/menu.lst:

   default=0
   timeout=10
   title NetBSD / XEN 
    root (hd0,0)
    kernel (hd0,a)/xen dom0_mem=65536
    module (hd0,a)/netbsdxen root=/dev/hda1 ro console=tty0
   
   title NetBSD (rescue)
    root (hd0,0)
    kernel (hd0,a)/netbsd
    module (hd0,a)/netbsd root=/dev/hda1 ro console=tty0
   

   Configure grub

   # grub --no-floppy
   grub> root (hd0,a)
   grub> setup (hd0)
   (output)
   grub> quit
