There may be a way for FreeBSD to work around it, but I am not aware of anyone trying. The current solution is to remove the entire CDROM/DVDROM drive from the VM to boot a XENHVM kernel. There is no workaround, unfortunately. I have filed this bug with a couple Citrix contacts of mine but have not heard back on an ETA for a solution on the XenServer side.
