is there a /dev/sda1 in Dom0?

i know that the 'sda1' name will be the virtual device in DomU and not in 
Dom0; but the Xen hypervisor can't use the 'sda1' name, it uses major:minor 
device numbers, and the scripts use Dom0 device files to translate from name 
to number.

you can:
1) use hda1 (assuming there's /dev/hda1 in Dom0)
2) put major:minor numbers in the config
3) create a /dev/sda1 file in Dom0, even if you don't have a SCSI card
