Instructions for a FreeBSD guest are now up here:

https://github.com/talex5/mirage-www/blob/next/tmpl/wiki/xen-on-cubieboard2.md#freebsd-guest

The original instructions worked well. I just corrected a few typos
and gave more information for people not used to FreeBSD (like me).

Next, I'm going to look at getting Mini-OS to use the guest console
(rather than the Xen emergency console).
