Oh, I see, there's a reference to this in the documentation, albeit it's
very obscure.

I haven't looked at the code, but I assume FreeBSD blkfront requires
the device type of the disk number to be something sensible (in other
words xvd or hd) or else the device is not identified properly.

Anyway, glad you got it working.
