Ah, so those files are loopmounted, like in mount -o loop ...?
(Net,Open, Maybe DragonFly)BSD use a different system, with slightly
other syntaxes. Here is the diff I hacked quickly (just taking NetBSD
into account):

[diff]

If you prefer a different diff(1) method, tell me :)

However, that gives me:
Error: Error creating domain: vbd: Segment not found: 
uname=file:/xen/slackware-linux-10/linux.img

I don't know how that "uname=" thing came into there
