Dear Maintainer,

I changed toolstack to xl in /etc/default/xen, rebooted
machine, and xl started working, but creating domU (kfreebsd9 from
package kfreebsd-image-9.0-1-xen) fails, because /var/lib/xen is missing.
Just doing 'mkdir /var/lib/xen' solved my problem, and kfreebsd9 kernel now loads
(still panics because of lack of root file system, but kernel itself loads&works!).
Probably few other subdirectories are missing there.

Regards,
Witek
