Hi!

May anyone assist me with booting FreeBSD DomU (under Debian Dom0).  Now
I'm using the kernel-current, downloaded from  Kip Macy site at
http://www.fsmware.com/xenofreebsd/7.0/download/

The problem is that I can't specify _any_ root, the kernel can recognize:

Mount point / had 1 dangling refs

Manual root filesystem specification:
  <fstype>:<device>  Mount <device> using filesystem <fstype>
                       eg. ufs:da0s1a
  ?                  List valid disk boot devices
  <empty line>       Abort manual input

mountroot> 

And here I'm stuck since it even doesn't allow me to enter a char.

I've tried several vfs.root.mountfrom specifications per googled advises,
including /dev/md0, /dev/xbd0a and /dev/xb769a, but with no success.

What I'm doing wrong?

Thanks in advance.
