Martin,

I tried this out with Xen 4.0.1 and had the same effect as you:
"Xend died due to signal 11!" if I attempted loading the XENHVM
kernel with kernel = "/within/dom0/path/to/freebsd/kernel" in xen
config.

With kernel = "/path/to/hvmloader" things work fine (the FreeBSD
kernel and boot loader residing within the virtual disk of the
virtual machine, the same way as it would be on a physical machine).
This is the proper way to use the amd64 XENHVM kernel.

Best Regards,
