It seems odd that it hangs in the bpf initialisation though.

When you say you disabled xenFreeBSD's diskless support, is it missing an 
option NFSROOT in the kernel or has the code gone?

I ask as i am interested in being able use xen to migrate freebsd instances 
about between individual servers. Pure NAS would greatly simplify this.
(I notice the OpenSolaris xen guys say they brought their stuff up on NFS
for this reason.)
