The easiest way (that I know of) is to use the CDROM/DVD image(s) to
install the OS directly into the device, using a CD-boot as the way to
tell the HVM domain what to do... Of course, this doesn't work if you
don't have VT/SVM - in that case you're probably best off creating a
separate partition and if you must have a file-base installation, create
a file by using dd from the partition to the file...
Here's a HVM congiguration to boot CDROM I posted earlier:
import os, re
arch = os.uname()[4]
if re.search('64', arch):
arch_libdir = 'lib64'
else:
arch_libdir = 'lib'
kernel = "/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader"
builder='hvm'
memory = 1024
name = "CDROM-boot"
vif = [ 'type=ioemu, bridge=xenbr0' ]
disk = [ 'file:/root/disk.img,ioemu:hda,w' ]
device_model = '/usr/' + arch_libdir + '/xen/bin/qemu-dm'
cdrom='/root/isoguest.iso'
boot='d'
sdl=0
vnc=1
vncviewer=1
serial='pty'
ne2000=0
