I used CentOS 5.3 x86_64 (Linux) as the dom0, but that should be irrelevant.

/etc/xen/auto/netbsd

if xm_vars.env.get('install'):
    kernel      = "/var/lib/xen/images/netbsd-INSTALL_XEN3_DOMU.amd64"
    on_reboot   = "destroy"
    on_crash    = "destroy"
else:
    kernel      = "/var/lib/xen/images/netbsd-XEN3_DOMU.amd64"
    on_reboot   = "restart"
    on_crash    = "restart"

vfb             = [ "type=vnc,vncunused=1,keymap=en-us" ]

The Xen xm command creates a special Python object, which you can use to test the environment. </dd>
