Short answer: yes. Thanks again. I think I'll stay with PV for now and if I want amd64/HVM I'll go the PXE boot route. I didn't try Xen's PXE support but it sounds much more attractive than having a BSD-labeled and BSD-filesystemed vnode file floating around in the Linux dom0. Plus I already have a PXE boot environment for all these guests.

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.
