Might be of interest to other FreeBSD users on the list, FreeBSD 10 is expected
to work out of the box on XenServer 6.2 with today's commit. The Beta ISO 
snapshot
should be out in the next couple of days.

On XenServer versions up to an including 6.2, paravirtualized
        CDROM support is broken.  When running in an HVM domain,
        ignore paravirtualized instances of CDROM media, and instead
        rely on native drivers attaching to emulated hardware.  This
        functions correctly on all currently known Xen based
        platforms.


Many thanks to Roger Pau Monné from Citrix for all the work.
