[Xen-users] FreeBSD as DomU (again, I know - sorry!)

[Jason Lixfeld <jason-xensource@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I know this has been flying around, but I haven't been able to find a  
definitive answer or HOWTO that I can make work.
I followed this HOWTO at http://txrx.org/xen/ and wound up with the  
following:
# test.install domain config file
kernel = "/etc/xen/vm/dev1/freebsd-INSTALL_XENU"
memory = 32
name = "test"
#cpu = -1   # leave to Xen to pick
#nics = 1
vif = [ '' ]
disk = [ 'phy:/dev/ld0i,wd0d,rw' ]
extra = "vfs.root.mountfrom=ufs:/dev/md0a"

[root@dev dev]# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ld0i bs=1024k count=250
250+0 records in
250+0 records out

So I then tried to create my domain, but it failed.

[root@dev dev1]# xm create test.install
Using config file "./test.install".
Error: Building domain failed: ostype=linux dom=11 err=
[root@dev dev1]#

I have even tried to use Kip's http://www.fsmware.com/xenofreebsd/7.0/ 
download/config/xmexample1.bsd, http://www.fsmware.com/xenofreebsd/ 
7.0/download/kernel-current and http://www.fsmware.com/xenofreebsd/ 
7.0/download/mdroot-7.0.bz2, obviously first changing the  
xmexample1.bsd and unextracting the mdroot so my end result looks  
like this:
# install-config domain config file
kernel = "/etc/xen/vm/dev1.test1/kernel-current"
memory = 64
name = "dev1"
vif = [ '' ]
disk = [ 'file:/etc/xen/vm/dev1.test1/mdroot-7.0,hda1,w' ]
on_crash    = 'preserve'
extra = "boot_verbose"
extra += ",boot_single"
extra += ",vfs.root.mountfrom=ufs:/dev/xbd769a"
extra += ",kern.hz=100"

[root@dev dev1.test1]# ls -al /etc/xen/vm/dev1.test1/
total 527632
drwxr-xr-x  2 root root      4096 Aug 15 13:39 .
drwxr-xr-x  4 root root      4096 Aug 15 13:22 ..
-rw-r--r--  1 root root      5299 Aug 15 13:39 install-config
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root   2874150 Jan 12  2006 kernel-current
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 536870912 Jan 12  2006 mdroot-7.0
[root@dev dev1.test1]#

Upon running xm create:

[root@dev dev1.test1]# xm create install-config
Using config file "./install-config".
Error: Building domain failed: ostype=linux dom=12 err=
[root@dev dev1.test1]#

Very lost at this point.  Google has no useful info on the Building  
domain failed error for my case.
Any help is appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
