Hello, just now getting a chance to test. I am likely doing
something wrong :)

I did the following:

1. Installed a fresh FreeBSD 8-CURRENT system using the
   latest snapshot ISO
2. Updated code and did makeworld && make installworld
3. Built a kernel using the stock XEN kernel config file
4. On blank partition I created an image in the following
   manner:

	dd if=/dev/zero of=xen.img bs=1024k count=5132
	mdconfig -a -t vnode -f xen.img -u 3
	bsdlabel -w md3
	bsdlabel -e md3 (where I created 2 partitions: / on a and swap on b)
	newfs /dev/md3a
	mount /dev/md3a /mnt
	(copied all data from theFreebsd8 partition to /dev/md3a using backup | restor)

5. Modified /mnt/etc/fstab and /mnt/etc/ttys
6. Copied /mnt/boo/kernel/kernel and my newly created xen.img
   files to a CentOS 5 server which has Xen 3.1 I believe.
7. Created a xen load file:

	name = "fbsd8"
	kernel = "/root/kernel.bsd8"
	vif = [ 'bridge=xenbr1' ]
	memory = 256
	disk = [ 'file://root/xen.img,0x01,w' ]
	vcpus=1
	on_crash = 'preserve'

8. started the image using 'xm create fbsd8 -c'

9. receivd the following break to debugger:

So... where did I go wrong? Thanks.
