Yes, I tried these kernels under NetBSD-current running as
dom0, using Xen 3.0.2-2. I couldn't get freebsd-XENU_INSTALL
kernel to boot, it crashes like this:

The freebsd-XENU kernel boots, but I cannot mount root:

Trying to mount root from ufs:/dev/xbd769a
Mount point / had 1 dangling refs
Manual root filesystem specification:
<fstype>:<device> Mount <device> using filesystem <fstype>
eg. ufs:da0s1a
? List valid disk boot devices
<empty line> Abort manual input
The root filesystem is file based and has been created on another
FreeBSD machine, so it should be ok. What is that number "769" in
xbd device ? Is it same for all installations ?
If there are any suggestions I could try please let me know.
