     Hanging at this point is usually an indication of a problem
with the backend for network or disk.  For network, make sure your
bridges are configured and up.  For disk, if using file backed
storage make sure you have enough vnd devices (/dev/vnd*), that
you're not using symlinks in the disk specification, and that you
have the correct script (i.e. that /usr/pkg/etc/xen/scripts/block
is a copy of /usr/pkg/share/examples/xen/scripts/block).
