--- Comment #4 from Jeroen <freebsd at dckd.nl> ---
I've attached an example configuration that works on a Debian Dom0 with Xen 4.4
and the (now default) xl toolkit, this works with a 10.1 system.

The configuration features two networking interfaces, which will be xl0 and xl1
consecutively in the FreeBSD. The IP addresses are not strictly necessary, but
may be useful for administration on the Dom0 side.

There are also two disks in the configuration, in this case the first is a
LogicalVolume made on the Dom0. This disk will be presented as a raw disk to
the Xen instance, and can be partitioned as desired, including ZFS.

The `boot='c'` statement makes sure that the domU instance will boot from
CD-ROM when one is connected. The `serial='pty'` statement makes sure that the
console is properly connected, this can then be approached using `xl console`
or using the `-c` flag when creating the domU.

Finally the `vnc=0` statement disables VNC connection. This can be enabled by
setting it to `1`, and uncommenting the following two lines. A VNC connection
can then be made by using an SSH tunnel to the dom0 host, protected by a
password, if desired.
