I have no idea what is causing your backend timeout, but your VM config would be useful information, and take a look at xend.log etc. on the host for any related errors (if you have access to it). I'm running OpenBSD 6.4 just fine under Xen; however my Dom0 is only 4.4.4 (dmesg attached).
Note that in your 6.0 dmesg, you have "wd0 at pciide0" vs. my "sd0 at scsibus1" via "scsibus1 at xbf0"; the man page for xbf(4) indicates it was added in 6.1, and that it takes over all virtual disks. As a workaround, you might try boot -c and disable xbf, which would presumably present your disk via the emulated IDE controller. -Andrew
