OK, well you have at least nailed it down to the console redirection when xen 
is initialising. Well done! We overlooked it. I'll have to see if I incur the 
same side-effects if I get a chance. Might also be time to utilise that 
serial port as it seems the developers are mainly accessing xen this way, 
hence no developer stumpling across this one.

As Manuel would say, "root=/dev/hda1" is a copy and paste from a linux config. 
The correct line would be "bootdev=wd0", obviously replacing wd0 with your 
applicable nbsd device.

I believe root= is now an equivelent? ... but you would still need to specify 
a nbsd device, not a linux one.
