Default Xen3_DOM0 winxp dom not running

Hi, I'm trying to make Xen work in NetBSD 6.1 in order to virtualize Windows XP for a school project. I have the config file created and the Dom0 configured, however, when I do 'xl create /usr/pkg/etc/xen/win01' the output is:

WARNING: you seem to be using "kernel" directive to override HVM guest firmware. Ignore that. Use "firmware_override" instead if you really want a non-default firmware
[1] Bad System Call (core dumped) xl create /usr/pkg/etc/xen/win01

I don't know why does the Bad system call happen, and how should i properly create the domain.

My config file is:

Kernel = "usr/pkg/libexec/xen/boot/hvmloader"
Builder='hvm'
Memory = 1024
Shadow_memory = 8
Name = "win01"
Vif = [ 'type=ioemu, bridge=bridge0' ]
Disk [ 'file:/home/xen/winxp.img,ioemu:hda,w','file:/home/xen/winxp.iso,ioemu:hdb:cdrom,r', ]

Vnc=1
Sdl=0
Vncconsole=1

Acpi=1
Apic=1
Device_model_version = 'qemu-xen-traditional'
Stdvga=0
Serial='pty'
Usbdevice='tablet'

I have already downloaded a Windows Xp iso and saved it into /home/xen

I dont have much knowledge on how to use NetBSD and Xen so any kind of help will be appreciated.

Best regards,
Agustin
