I suppose this is related to this line in my config file:
disk = [ 'phy:/dev/xenfs/slc4root,ioemu:hda,w' ]

I don't know what I'm supposed to put there, if not hda.
/dev/xenfs/scl4root is a LVM logical volume, it exists and can be
mounted without problems, so I don't think that is the issue. I've tried
to change hda to sda, sda1, hda1 and some other things, and I always get
this error:
Error: hvm: for qemu vbd type=file&dev=hda~hdd

Here's my config file, slc43.hvm, sans comments. Most of this is taken
right from http://www.xensource.com/files/xen_install_windows.pdf

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 = 2048
name = "SLC43"
extra = "linux text console=ttyS0,9600n8"
vif = [ 'type=ioemu, mac=00:04:23:D1:9E:4A, bridge=xenbr0' ]
disk = [ 'phy:/dev/xenfs/slc4root,ioemu:hda,w' ]
device_model = '/usr/' + arch_libdir + '/xen/bin/qemu-dm'
cdrom="/root/SLC43_i386_dvd.iso"
boot="d"
