I've never tried setting "console=.." on the command line.  And
it all starts up just fine.

My working configuration file:

        kernel = "/usr/pkg/etc/xen/kernels/i386/bob-the-builder"
        memory = 512
        name = "bob-the-builder"
        vif = [ 'mac=00:16:3e:00:00:11, bridge=bridge1' ]
        disk = [ 'phy:/dev/raid2d,0x1,w' ]
        extra = ""

bob-the-builder is running:
