Edit the file above and make the following changes:

disk = [ 'file:/var/lib/xen/images/domain1/hda,xvda,w' ]

extra = "TERM=xterm textmode=1
install=nfs://servername/path_to_source_dir"

restart = "never"

Then open an xterm and type:

xm create -c domain1

You should see linuxrc start inside the xterm.

When the instalation finishes you should change the line

ramdisk = "/var/lib/xen/images/domain1/inst-initrd"

to contain the initrd for a running system instead of the installation
one. Hopefully you can safely use "/boot/initrd-xen"

Also you'll need to change the root line to:

root = "/dev/xvda1"

(or xvda2, depending in how partitioning was performed during install)

And finaly:

restart = "onreboot"

Now start domain1 again from an xterm and you should be able to finish
the installation.

Another option is to use the option "Installation into directory" from
YaST and then use that directory as the image for xen.

rgrds,
Braulio Gergull
