Yeah, I think kexec would work but unfortunately it's not part of the kernel yet. It could be folded into Xen but I agree with Jeremy that it seems like overkill. Boot through Linux just to get to a grub screen seems a little strange too.

FYI. IT comes stanard with AKPM kernel's just grab something recent (ie 2.6.10 or newer) from

        http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/

and you get kexec by default.
