  The system boots and the kernel ignores the "init=/bin/sh" argument
 completely.  Looking over the code I see mention of "args" but it
 doesn't look like it is used as I'd expect.  The following fails too:

 args init=/bin/sh

  Is there a simple method of appending kernel arguments using pygrub?

Never used that myself yet, but because I know Fedora uses them when
setting up a vm with virt-install/ virt-manager, I looked at my fedora
test system.
There, when I set init=/bin/sh I am thrown into /bin/sh as wanted.

Not tried on Debian cause there I use only partitions - the standard
tools there don't bother me with layering multiple partioning and
volume management tools but let me use simple partitoins :)

Are you sure you edited the menu.lst *inside* the domU and point the
bootloader correctly to this? Or, maybe you did not uncomment a
kernel= and root= line in the vm config file and this one is used
instead? Do you see a grub boot menu when starting the domain?
