This basically says your kernel image is invalid

This confirms that the kernel image you're trying to boot is incompatible
with your host OS.

Are you sure that

/data/xenimages/netbsd/netbsd-INSTALL_XEN3_DOMU

Is a kernel image, and not a virtual disk image ?  If it really is a krenel
image, make sure it is the same architecture as your dom0 - ie x86_64.
