Angry Installing FreeBSD 8.0 as Xen DomU?

The release docs say that FreeBSD 8.0 has native Xen DomU support, but there is no documentation available anywhere in this regard.

Where is the documentation? How do I install as a native DomU?
It must have been documented somewhere, if the feature was added in...

There's /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/XEN (Kernel configuration for i386 XEN DomU) and /usr/src/sys/amd64/conf/XENHVM (Xen HVM kernel configuration file for FreeBSD/amd64). Some stuff shows up in apropos xen, and on http://wiki.freebsd.org/FreeBSD/Xen.

That information is 3+ years old. It's not applicable anymore, I think.
