This is a bug then. You should be able to boot without XENHVM/xenpci, and get a pure HVM guest with no PV devices at all. > <https://wiki.freebsd.org/FreeBSD/XenNG>; seems to suggest you can no > longer boot 10 under Xen as HVM? > > If I can't boot HVM, I can't get HVM network support (i.e. Realtek) - > and I can't get that, all the VM's I have to run as HVM due to a number > of xen/freebsd/network oddities can't be 10.x machines :( Since this seems to be getting quite popular (booting without PV devices), I think adding a sysctl to disable PV nics and PV hard drives would be interesting.
