Networking in NetBSD/i386 or /amd64 (5.1.2)

I'm trying to get NetBSD installed on my Linode following the Wiki page:

http://www.linode.com/wiki/index.php/NetBSD_Howto

Networking works under the Finnix image, I am able to to use wget to download the files needed, but when I boot the NetBSD installer images, I am unable to get networking to work under NetBSD. I have tried both 32&64 bit kernels (under 32 & 64bit pv_grub). If I try and let it get networking via DHCP, it doesn't get a response, if I use hard-coded values, no traffic gets passed.

IP info:

ifconfig -a

xennet0: flags=8863 mtu 1500

capabilities=2800 tx,udp4csumtx>enabled=0

address: f2:3c:91:ae:c9:5d

inet 50.116.26.109 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 50.116.26.255

inet6 fe80::f03c:91ff:feae:c95d%xennet0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1

lo0: flags=8049 mtu 33184

inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000

inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128

inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x2

I can ping my own IP from the booted image:

ping -n -c3 50.116.26.109

PING 50.116.26.109 (50.116.26.109): 56 data bytes

64 bytes from 50.116.26.109: icmp_seq=0 ttl=255 time=0.045 ms

64 bytes from 50.116.26.109: icmp_seq=1 ttl=255 time=0.058 ms

64 bytes from 50.116.26.109: icmp_seq=2 ttl=255 time=0.056 ms

But I can't ping my default route:

ping -n -c3 50.116.26.1

PING 50.116.26.1 (50.116.26.1): 56 data bytes

ping: sendto: Host is down

ping: sendto: Host is down

Did I miss something in the setup? Have the instructions changed since that wiki page was put up?tx,udp4csumtx>

Well, I never got 5.1.2 working, but NetBSD/amd64 6.0 seems to work, installing that now.
