From what I've learned, you have 2 options here:  either add the IP address, mask and other network parameters under Kernel parameters in the config file; or create an ifcfg-eth0 file in the domU.  The eth0 interface in the domU is attached to the vif3.0 interface in dom0.  On my system I had to bridge the vif to an eth on dom0 to access the domU from outside the box.  You may want to create a virtual eth0.1 and bridge the two with brctl.
