Assuming you DID create and allocate /dev/sda9 on domain-0 (e.g. on your 
real disk) for dom-U's swap space, try
mkswap /dev/sda9

IMHO, the common method is to export block device (partition, loopback 
file, or LVM) in domain-0 to dom-U as sda1/2 or hda1/2,
so instead of

disk = ['phy:sda8,sda8,rw','phy:sda9,sda9,rw']

it might be better to use

disk = ['phy:sda8,sda1,w','phy:sda9,sda2,w']

BTW, "w" should be enough
