The best option would be to hook a serial cable and get the output from the serial console. The list of valid xen_cmdline can be found here for the 4.11 ports: http://xenbits.xen.org/docs/unstable/misc/xen-command-line.html Or here if you are using the 4.7 port: http://xenbits.xen.org/docs/4.7-testing/misc/xen-command-line.html > Do I have to configure and build a FreeBSD kernel or just use what the xen > meta-port builds? You don't have to build a specific kernel to run FreeBSD as Dom0, just using the GENERIC one from either 11.X or HEAD should work. Roger.
