Yes, this is intentional, see: https://marc.info/?l=xen-devel&m=144482080812353 Have you checked if you need to change your /etc/fstab to correctly point to the new device? Does FreeBSD correctly list the disk(s) at the mountroot prompt when issuing a "?" command? Also, can you paste the output of `xenstore-ls -fp` from Dom0 when this happens? > What used to be Windows 2016 domU with /dev/zvol/zroot/windows0,raw,hda,w > ends up in the Tianocore UEFI shell.

Again, can you post the output of `xenstore-ls -fp` from Dom0 when this happens? At least this will show if the PV block device has been correctly attached. Roger.
