Step1: " Now you'll have to create a network bridge:"
Make sure to also mention that you need to create /etc/ifconfig.bridge0 
with following:
create
!brconfig $int add bge0
up

Where bge0 is my physical inet iface. This will bringe bridge interface 
at boot with predefined network interface as it's member.


   *Step 5:*

Make sure you mention that you edit /etc/rc.conf and add there something as:
xend=YES
xendomains=YES
xendomains="domain.foo domain.bar"
xenbackendd=YES

Where domain.foo and domain.bar are your xen configs for these domains, 
i.e $LOCALBASE/etc/xen/domain.foo.
In my case $LOCALBASE is defined as /usr/local, it's normally /usr/pkg
This will bring xen at boot and automatically start your DomUs.
