That's quite weird... Do you see any messages in the Xen console (xl
dmesg)? Can you boot with a hypervisor compiled with debug=y and see if
there are any strange messages on the Xen console?

Also, does replacing the FreeBSD gateway VM with a Linux PV VM solve the
issue? (ie. just to check if Linux also shows this behaviour)

Roger.
